Being in the army airborne,special forces or infantry?

Question

i was thinking going into the army as one of these, which is hard/tougher,require more skills,etc.. and why would u say so?

Answer 1

These answers are pretty ridiculous and definitely not from people who have served in Special Operations units. A SF team or ODA is led by a Captain, who is leading his team during missions.

You've got to be more specific than 'requiring more skills' or 'make it harder'. So I will answer your broad question with a broad response: Yes, it is more difficult becoming a SF Officer. The typical SF Officer has a Bachelor's if not a Master's Degree. He has been through Airborne, Ranger, SERE, etc. He already has company command and platoon leader experience. So due to this "pre-loaded" training and experience, by the time he leads a SF team for 2 years...it is time for him to move on to Battalion Staff, ILE, an instructor position at USMA/ROTC, etc.

Answer 2

Special Forces is the hardest only three people get in on each selection. As an officer you can be Airborne, but after a couple years you can try to join. Hope you don't think it all a game especially leading Special Forces, SF officers order extremely highly trained soldiers into combat. Its the 2nd hardest combat job in the Army Because out of a couple hundred a few make it. Officers don't see combat up close just so you know.  

Answer 3

Special Forces is the answer to all of your questions.  Do not go the Officer route.  You'll end up doing about 2 years in an ODA (Operational Detachment Alpha) and then put into some staff position far away from the fun/action.  Go enlisted.
