Your post brings back a foggy memory. I remember seeing a really seasoned looking Green Beret standing around when I was in Basic/AIT (1984) at Fort Sill. I asked him how long it took to train for Special Forces and he drilled me with a look I'll never forget and said "it's a long road". I thought he was being melodramatic at the time but now I think he was giving me advice.

BTW, I shared your MOS preference coming from a medical MOS myself after reclassing from artillery. I wanted 18D or nothing. Of course, back then anyone with a GT over 20 got shipped to Fort Sam for 300-F1. Take your time. SF isn't going anywhere and you have alot to learn, no disrespect.
