How long did you all serve in your units before applying to SF? I'm posting in this forum because I would one day like to be apart of the 5th SFG, my apologies if this question is in the wrong forum. Thanks in advance,

You are talking about enlisting in the Army? You say you are in college; I assume you are not in ROTC or considering applying for OCS out of college? If you were an officer the course is pretty much set. You have to be a 1st Lieutenant promotable (1LT(P)) to apply for SFAS and have completed your branch's captain's career course before going to the Q course. So that's about three years there.
If, based on the Arabic study, you think you might enter the Army as a linguist or MI soldier, there is a chance you could get assigned to 5th Group in a support position right out of your initial entry training. That might help you decide whether it is the life for you. Based on your major, there is also psyop.
