Special Forces

This blog pertains to the last post in which I have talked about Ranger School. Ranger School was training of soldiers to become a Ranger. They are operated under special operations forces and in today’s blog, I will be talking about yet another special operations candidate school.

It is the Special Forces everyone. Special Forces have long and proud tradition in defending our country and provide important intelligence and training to aid other countries. The only you can become part of the Special Forces detachment is to be qualified as “Special Forces”. There are only two routes to enter this field of expertise: One is to become an Infantryman and apply for candidate school and the other is to be an Officer and branch into Special Forces after Infantry school. This school is believed to be more physically and mentally demanding then the Ranger School because not only is it longer, you get deployed every 6 months during your duty.

Just like the other schools I’ve mentioned, you do get the privilege to obtain a special tab. The Special Forces Tab: A tab that signifies completion of the school and showing others that you are part of the division. Because of the nature of the work, Special Forces is top secret working field and very secretive from society. They are kind of the “men in black” type of workers in which they technically have no identity in the real world. But nonetheless, it is a very interesting field to get into if you would like to be single forever and like to travel almost everywhere.

As for the Special Forces school, it consists of yearly long training in different weather conditions from hot to cold. With very minimal sleep or food and therefore require you to pass every task they give you. It is a tough and challenging task and only those that are fit will survive. But all in all, they get so much respect from anyone that is in the military and who know about their legacy.
