Get a Mentor not a Recruiter. Paul is right about this. When I joined the Navy (not spec ops or anything close) I wanted to fly or Civil Engineer Corps (it was different back then) and go Seabees. I was older (29) and a structural engineer with Bechtel. I was bored with the office gig.

My Father was a Marine Sergeant Major. He gave me the same advice that Paul is giving. (THANKS DAD!)

After completing the Navy's series of tests, the recruiter wanted me to go Nuke. I explained to him that was not what was in the cards (I was a bit versed in the tedium of Nukes). My Mentor, a friend of my father was spot on with his advice. (31 years of service, active and reserve).

Contact those that are in the community and if possible have one be your mentor. Their advice is priceless. Oh, and my neighbor Bob's SIL, is a Ranger and he loves it. Neat stuff, don't limit it to one branch.

AND Best of Luck and Good Fortune.
