ADVERTISING FOR SPECIAL FORCES IN THE NEWSPAPER: Dishwasher, secretary, automative electronic specialist, commando....

The Army has attracted a bit of publicity lately by offering a direct enlistment option into special forces. The option permits enlistees to attempt the Special Forces Qualification Course immediately after finishing basic training, AIT, and jump school, rather than serving a number of years in the ranks and then attempting the course as an E-4 The wash-out rate for the course, however, is rather high - and enlistees who don't successfully complete the course will likely be heading to Iraq as 11B infantrymen.
