I’m looking to join SF because it’s been my dream since I was a kid. But I’m scared to leave home forever and never live a normal lifestyle and not have the family I want. Clearly I don’t know how it works and I’m asking for a helping hand on how people’s lives have turned out after sf and also some tips and tricks on being in SF. I’m an 18 y/o fresh out of 68w ait. Thanks in Advance.

It's you're dream to join and you don't know anything about it? Is that why you also tagged 75th in this? These two organizations couldn't be more different.
My suggestion is that you get some time and maturity under your belt and you'll be more ready to join. 75th is a great organization for initial term soldiers to start out in and you should apply to them.

As a former SF soldier, my advice would be to join the 75th Ranger Regiment, learn first and foremost how to soldier, gain son maturity then attempt SFAS. My other piece of advice would be to gain as much medical knowledge as possible. Watch what the best medics are, pick their brains along with any PAs you happen to come in contact with. Best of luck to you .

Thanks for your feedback. I’m curious, MSG, someone like me, who is an 18x but prior service and at the age of 27, I’m very mature, well I would like to see think I am atleast. I joined the Navy to become a SEAL and I had contract for BUD/s. K was literally too prospective during dive med, getting 8:30 mile and a half, 118 push ups in two minutes, etc, etc... I lost my contract because I needed lasik and eventually the SEAL rate became overmanned hence why I’m going SF. As an 18x, I’m curious, are the cadre biased towards the candidates from the regiment and airborne as opposed to someone like me? Let’s say in SFAS, I truly have it my all and I demonstrate myself as a high level candidate, is there chances where the cadre might not pick me because I’m an 18x? I heard that 18x is negatively viewed by the cadre and the SF community.
