trying out for special forces/operations at rtc

First thing to do is talk to a recruiter, if you haven't already. After going through MEPS like everyone else, as long as you meet the medical requirements and your ASVAB line scores meet the minimums, then you tell them you want a Challenge contract, which they can't give you, so you become QNJ "qualified no job". Then you go back to your recruiter and he sends you to take the PST. Then your entire life becomes trying to get your PST score competitive enough to be picked up by the Spec Ops community. If and when you get picked up by the Spec Ops guys, then you get your EOD contract to sign.

If you're already contracted as something else you can still take the PST and try to reclass, but if your ship date is within a few months, it's extremely hard to get picked up.
