Career in Special Forces…….Marsoc, SEAL, Green Beret.?
I’m a prior service Marine and got out honorably in 2005. Since then I’ve have pretty steady employment in the Civilian World, which is paying pretty good. I’ve realized something isn’t there, Honor, Courage, Commitment, Pride. I want to go back in the service and I would like a career in Special Forces. To be apart of such an elite group would be such an honor and to have the up most respect for your peers would be priceless. My question is, is it possible to have a full military career un SOCOM? Thanks for any help or suggestions, and much respect for anyone who has served and is serving.
You are not alone. In a recent SFAS class, there were 12 prior service Marines. That’s not unusual nowadays. 9 of them made it and are in Q course right now. Going to BUD/S is a less common path, but still well traveled. Coming back A/D and taking selection for MARSOC is always possible, if you can come back!
For SF, you’d be coming in on the 18X program. It’s perfectly suited to prior service Marines: you’ll become familiar with the Armyisms, get fantastic gouge, and do all the prep (skills and PT) needed for SFAS. It makes it a simple matter of whether you are (1) smart enough and (2) tough enough. Simple, not easy.
