I'm a power generation equipment repairer (91D) and I love my job. I'm interested in stepping up and trying out for a Special Operations position. Being an SF Operator has always been a dream of mine but I recently came across an article about 160th. This attracted my attention because I love the Ordnance Corps, especially electrical troubleshooting and circuitry and would love to work on Army Helicopters. Any advice or experience out there in the RP world? I've also thought about group but I'm not sure how to get attached to get orders to SF Group. I feel that both can set me up to do well as a civilian once I retire.

If you plan to stay a 91D, I would recommend connecting with other 91Ds in USASOC. Ask them both how they got their job, and also how they like it. That should help you decide on what you should strive for. Here are a few 91Ds I found in USASFC by using the RallyPoint Advanced Search:<div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="https://www.rallypoint.com/assets/public/video-iconpng_03-e2f2d395f39314aeff [login to see] 66a5.png"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rallypoint.com/profiles/134737-91d-power-generation-equipment-repairer-gsb-1st-sfg-a"> at GSB, 1st SFG(A) | Military Profile | RallyPoint</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">See the full military profile of this at GSB, 1st SFG(A), stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), WA | RallyPoint professional military profile.</div></div><div style="clear:both"></div><div class="pta-box-hide"><i class="icon-remove"></i></div></div><div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="https://www.rallypoint.com/assets/public/video-iconpng_03-e2f2d395f39314aeff [login to see] 66a5.png"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rallypoint.com/profiles/126258-91d-power-generation-equipment-repairer-4th-bn-5th-sfg-a">Generator Mechanic at 4th BN, 5th SFG(A) | Military Profile | RallyPoint</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">See the full military profile of this Generator Mechanic at 4th BN, 5th SFG(A), stationed at Fort Campbell, KY | RallyPoint professional military profile.</div></div><div style="clear:both"></div><div class="pta-box-hide"><i class="icon-remove"></i></div></div><div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="https://www.rallypoint.com/assets/public/video-iconpng_03-e2f2d395f39314aeff [login to see] 66a5.png"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rallypoint.com/profiles/49154-91d-power-generation-equipment-repairer-hsc-1st-bn">Generator Mechanic at HSC, 1st BN | Military Profile | RallyPoint</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">See the full military profile of this Generator Mechanic at HSC, 1st BN, stationed at Fort Bragg, NC | RallyPoint professional military profile.</div></div><div style="clear:both"></div><div class="pta-box-hide"><i class="icon-remove"></i></div></div><div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="https://www.rallypoint.com/assets/public/video-iconpng_03-e2f2d395f39314aeff [login to see] 66a5.png"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.rallypoint.com/profiles/10309-91d-power-generation-equipment-repairer-4th-bn-10th-sfg-a"> at 4th BN, 10th SFG(A) | Military Profile | RallyPoint</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">See the full military profile of this at 4th BN, 10th SFG(A), stationed at Fort Carson, CO | RallyPoint professional military profile.</div></div><div style="clear:both"></div><div class="pta-box-hide"><i class="icon-remove"></i></div></div>

Thanks for the advice sir. I'm still new to RP so this search feature will definitely help a lot.

If you like to fly then join the 160th if you like to ride Join the SF.  Now with the jokes aside I have had friends in both organization both are very professional either one you choose will be well worth the personal investment in yourself.  Good luck with your choice

MSG Frank, I get that same answer every time I ask this question. That is the reason why I'm contemplating these two. I know that both will not only make me a better soldier but a better individual as well.
