Uhh, what's with the cloak-and-dagger routine? If SOF's entry
requirements were on a "I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you"
basis, they wouldn't be recruiting, would they?
devil_87, I'm not certain how it is in other units, but in CDO the
NSFs could go for SOF selection. Four guys from my company got in,
and only one was a regular at the time - the other three signed
once they passed selection. I'm not sure, but I don't believe you
need to be a regular to go for selection if you're from another
unit.
The long and short of it is that after passing the fitness
standards, you go for a few weeks of selection which culminates in
Hell Week. Those that make it to the end begin about a year's worth
of training before going operational.
