Assignment to an SFAB requires Soldiers to be in an Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) that is authorized in the SFAB MTOE, be fully deployable, have a PULHES of no higher than 111221, score 240 on the APFT with a minimum of 70 points in each event, have a secret clearance and pass an Official Military Personnel File check for derogatory information. As an incentive the Army will pay SFAB enlisted Soldiers a $5,000 lump sum Assignment Incentive Pay as long as the Solider is assigned to an SFAB and serves in the unit for at least 12 months.

The training and development of professional combat advisors is an Army high priority. In an effort to facilitate building an inventory of these specially equipped and trained Soldiers, the Army has made the following decisions:

The Army has created a SGT Special Promotion Category. Corporals (CPL) and Specialists (SPC) who have been boarded and are fully eligible for promotion will be awarded 799 points and promoted to the rank of SGT on the first day of the month following graduation of the Security Force Assistance Advisor Course (SFAAC).

The requirement for completion of Professional Military Education (PME) to attain pin-on eligibility for promotion to SGT through Master Sergeant (MSG) is suspended for Soldiers assigned or attached to a SFAB or to its supporting Security Force (SECFOR). The Soldiers must be otherwise fully qualified and meet or exceed a monthly cutoff score (to SGT/Staff Sergeant (SSG)) or sequence number (to Sergeant First Class (SFC)/MSG). Soldiers promoted under this exception will be prioritized for the next available PME training seat upon redeployment or when otherwise available.
Special Duty Assignment Pay: $75 per month for SFAB-qualified enlisted personnel (completed the Security Forces Advise & Assist Course (SFAAC)), effective 1 OCT 17.

Soldiers interested in receiving more information about the SFAB and/or assignment opportunities should contact their respective career branch representative at HRC or [login to see] /9975/5131.

However, that link that says "FAQ" for SFAB you need a CAC and it doesn't go the page. If you search SFAB a FAQ PDF comes up.

For MOS - it lists for 88M E4, E5, E7.

This is the assessment for SFAB:

What is the SFAB assessment?
- It is a 48 hour physically and mentally demanding objective and subjective
assessment and selection process. Its purpose is to identify the best possible
candidates. The objective assessments are based on MOS expertise, physical
fitness, and moral, ethical and values based decisions. The subjective board
process targets individual leader attributes and character through board proceedings
and discussions. The board assesses the technical, tactical, ethical, and moral
potential for the individual to serve in the SFAB.

If you want more info, I'd go talk to a SFAB recruiter.
