Question

Can having college credits help you get to special forces in the military?

Answer 1

It is not one of the requirements but it will help you with promotion.

Answer 2

Nope. You still have to go through the same process as everyone else. Whether or not you are selected and make it through the Q has nothing to do with how much education you have.  

Answer 3

it can be in the sense that it will help in putting you in as a higher rank than just an E-1. So say you come in as an E-3 (the highest you can start as) you could be already at the minimum required rank for certain special forces groups.  

Answer 4

I attended SFAS and the SFQC in 1990.  

While having college credit is not a requirement for SF, it certainly is a bonus when the selection board looks at your record during SFAS.  SF is looking for the mature, siclly fit candidate which can be seen by having college credits...  

Answer 5

Unless your College credits are in covert operations, marksmanship, SERE, Airborne operations, SCUBA, jungle, desert, urban, mountain  warfare, martial arts, weapons,101 ways to terminate the enemy, emergency medicine & foreign languages, then I say YES!
