What service?
For the Army you can apply for WOFT.
Once accepted, you have certain criteria that assist in the selection of an airframe. Then, once you have enough experience and flight time, you can start seeking out the Special Operations area. It is possible to apply sooner if you possess certain prior skills.
I wouldn’t jump so far ahead initially. Also, provide more background information on yourself. It would help out the others with you’re situation. Best of luck.

I would not look a gift horse in the mouth. If you get Army Aviation you go with it and do your best. I am sure life will treat you good enough.

(Join to see), yeah, helicopters themselves aren’t used like special/named craft, if you’re on say, a pavehawk, you can (and sometimes will) preflight and fly a ship you’ve never seen before.
Changing airframes is a big deal, and required going back to school (it’s considered learning a whole new vehicle), but if you’re a hawk pilot, you can fly any hawk of the model(s) you’re checked off on.

(Join to see) totally different jobs usually, but specific assignments tend to become more clear as you progress through your training.
