Once you hit Captain, you get with the Special Operations Recruiter and put in a packet. SFC Marc W.

AD it&#39;s basically a crapshoot. needs of the army and all that jazz. Guard and Reserves is easier to a degree you just need to find a unit with a slot and apply.

Since CA teams often work with infantry teams, having a good knowledge of how they work will help you immensely immensely when you become a CA team leader. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 28 Sep 2020 10:30:56 -0400 2020-09-28T10:30:56-04:00 2020-09-27T14:10:55-04:00
