Interservice Transfer/Resigning Commission to apply to SF?
I am currently serving in the US Navy as an Officer. I would like to have to opportunity to join the SF community. From what I understand, I have done research and it is possible to resign a commission and then enlist to go SF. However, every single case that I have found did not involve an interservice transfer. They were all one of the following variations:
1. Active duty Army Officer resigning commission and joining active duty SF.
2. Active duty Army Officer resigning commission and joining National Guard SF.
3. National Guard Officer resigning commission and joining SF through active duty.
4. National Guard Officer resigning commission and joining National Guard SF.
My issue is that as an Officer I have an 8 year minimum service commitment, where I can spend 4 years of active duty, and then 4 years in the inactive ready reserve. Going through selection, for the most part is a young man's game, so I would like to go as early as possible. I'm currently 25, and after my active duty time, I will be very close to 27. After 4 more years of the inactive ready reserve, I would be 30-31 years of age (although I know it is possible to pass selection as this age, since it has been done before).
I believe I would be a good candidate because I have language potential in both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. I am also aware and understand that I would have to enhance these capabilities further in order to be competitive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to find a way to join SF. I'm very interested in 18D in particular, as my major in college was medically related. Thank you for your time.
