It sounds like you have already been talking with the right people. I hope the recruiter in Ohio is correct about the waiver. I don't know what your past medical history is? But if you were not...

I just love it when a recruiter tells an applicant to lie about medical history, especially something that can SO easily be determined/discovered.

You need to be forthcoming with all medical...

You know, I am just giving you a hard time?

The program used to be called the "Patriot Academy". It is no longer available, shut down due to budget cuts.
You would not be eligible for it even if it did still exist. You already have a GED.

If your current or prior service, its accurate. But, not for REP 63/18X.

Mister smarty pants

The requirements have not been updated on the website.

GED Plus has been suspended/canceled for the foreseeable future.

Its not a matter of "if" an SF Guy is going to SNAP, it a matter of "when".

jk, maybe

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING???

Plus, your link about the SF training is outdated and inaccurate. So, I am going to delete it.

The unit will not even send you to SFAS if you are not ready.

I HIGHLY recommend you come to the SFRE 100% ready as if you were going to SFAS, period. If you do not show them that you are serious...

Special Forces requires a minimum DoD secret clearance investigation.

A/5/19th SFG in California will allow prior military to try-out with them as a civilian before enlistment, with a signed liability waiver. They run their SFREs about once every six months. If you...

B/2/19th SFG in Columbus, to the best of my knowledge is still considering NPS for REP 63. You need to be persistent in getting in contact with their recruiter. He is a very busy guy. Motivation...

Have you submitted your information through the Special Forces no prior military service path on the SF website? In order to be contacted by a SF operator/recruiter....

You most likely will have to contact the state's (where you served) Military Personnel Office. Most NGB 22s never make it to national archives.

REP 63 contract availability varies with each state/NG SF unit. If you are in CA, then it is NOT an option. They have not considered non prior service applicants for many years. They require "at...

KENOVA,...

This does not apply to the Army National Guard or Reserves. You would NOT have to attend BCT with the Guard.

Question 1: YES
Question 2: You would be given a new language. Especially, seeing as how your German is not up to snuff and we really don't need German speakers.
Plus, every applicant will take...

May I ask why you just revived a 2 plus year old thread?

Thank you for reviving a 5 month old thread. The original poster (OP) has not been on these forums since OCT 2012.

Because the recruiters are trying to get you to enlist, so they can meet their mission/quota.

Why did you create a million threads on the exact same subject?

National Archives. http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/about-service-records.html

My ODA and I, along with a good portion of 10th SFG were already in Northern Iraq, linked up with the Kurds. We were waiting on the rest the Army to get in the game.

The GED Plus program is no longer available. Last class is going on right now. I recommend you contact your local recruiter.

Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP) just like every other Army National Guard recruit. RSP Link: http://www.nationalguard.com/careers/recruit-sustainment-program-rsp?cid=hoc_kb_what-is-the-rsp_20110104...

In one sense you are correct. The Army National Guard Special Forces recruit/candidate contract (non prior service only) is usually referred to as REP 63. But, 18X and REP 63 are interchangeable...

Sending you a PM. Also, I have heard that its common with officers.

I smell a call to the state IG in the future

CONGRATS jwarren!

NC NG SF has not accepted non-prior service for a while now.

Best of luck!

Do to this question being asked on a regular basis, here goes:

The Army National Guard does not have nor offer Special Forces enlistment contracts for current or prior service.

In order to...

This question has been asked MANY MANY times. Please search and read through the SF threads.
I have recently posted a sticky thread that covers this

The Non-prior service Special Forces enlistment contract in the Army National Guard is usually referred to as a REP 63 contract, similar to the 18 Xray (18X) contract with Active Duty Army. REP...

RGR Oden,

Your best bet is to try and contact the unit (3-108th LRS Co) directly. You would have to interview anyway to be accepted into the unit, assuming there is an open slot. Unfortunately,...

Listen to jwarren. Contact the SF unit and get it from the horses mouth.
Best of luck!

LASiK is disqualifying for MFF and CDQC (Not waiverable) As for SF in general it may be waived by the SF Surgeon. PRK/LASeK is authorized for all military training/courses.

WOW! is all I can say.

You will not be reduced in rank as an officer. Again, your only option is too revert to NCO (E-6).

Your perceived COA's are not possible. You will not even be considered for NG SF as a current MAJ/O-4, especially 2xns. You cannot attend SFAS as an O-4. You will not be able to voluntarily take a...

Reason for discharge (Line 23) on your NGB 22 discharge form?

reconricky0321, Unfortunately I cannot give you a definitive answer to your question. There is no USASOC approved list openly available. You will have to contact Special Forces Underwater...

Unfortunately, this will be a medical disqualification for Special Forces. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
