What is the likelihood of an SF soldier being able to become a Drill Sergeant?

SPC Elijah Zaporteza, I understand the logic behind Special Forces experience or background enhancing the ability to become a great drill sergeant. In practice however, I would like to provide you with some perspective -

The Special Forces Career track CMF18- involves assessment and selection for Special Forces duty and depending on which CMF18 MOS the completion of the SF pipeline. Which could take between 24-36 months depending on language and other required schools. Once you pass all these gates then you are assigned to and SF Group an put on an Operational Detachment for a number of years. Where there is more schooling and numerous deployments. Throughout this time expect to get promoted, remember the lowest ranking individual on and SF ODA is SSG/E6.

If after all that you decide that you still wish to become a Drill Sergeant and leave Group, here is what you will be giving up -

1. Jump Pay - $150 per month
2. Demo Pay - $225 per month
3. Special Duty Pay - $450 per month
4. Language Pay - $100-400 per month
5. Halo Pay - $250 per month
6. Dive Pay - $250 per month

You would potentially take $1500 cut in pay, in addition your security clearance would be down graded from a Top Secret to a secret. Since, Drill Sergeant Duty does not require a Top Secret Clearance.

Just food for through!

I know SF guys that are former Drill Sergeants. While we have the 18X program, we will continue to provide SF Drill Sergeants to Fort Benning. This is only because they train our SF babies. Once the program goes away, we will no longer have the requirement. This however is not likely anytime soon.

I was a BAR instructor for a basic Inf Company, and then a few years later, a company commander for one. But that's as close as I got to being a Drill Sgt. As for being a Green Beret. I earned one, and served in Special Forces as both enlisted and an officer, for about eighteen years, So I have some experience in that area. I've also been to Ranger and Recondo school, but Special Forces training remains some of the hardest in the world. Bare in mind that only a small percentage of participants ever graduate. That should be your first objective, and believe me, that will require your 100% participation and effort, or you are doomed for failure from the beginning. I find that being a Green Beret soldier closer to a calling, than just wanting to wear the chic little green hat. Those who go into it with less than that attitude, rarely make it through - especially if it's only to "check the boxes" and obtain a couple of hats. But, that aside, if you do make it through selection, and actually get into the training and become one of the most specialized warriors in the world, why would you want to trade that for a Drill Sgt's hat?
