<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Looks like an EXTREMELY competitive program. Only 20 enlisted and 20 commissioned (total from all components). Enlisted limited to SGT and SSG only. Officers YG 99-14. Would be a great opportunity if selected.<br /><br />Here is a direct link that should be available to everyone.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/pdf/ad2014_07.pdf">http://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/pdf/ad2014_07.pdf</a>
