Knowing what I know now: I'd have first, and foremost, gone 11B with Airborne Option, then, upon completion of OSUT, gone to Ranger Regiment for three years. Then, as soon as I pinned E-5, I'd drop my packet for SF. I'd do two to three years on a team, pin at least SSG, and then drop my Warrant Packet. I'd complete WOC, and come back to a team for a minimum of 5 more years. By that time I'd have about 13 years in. I'd hit the staff sections at BN or higher for about two years, and then, if I could swing it, go back to the teams till I couldn't hang anymore, and retire as a W-4/W-5.
I wouldn't want to stay enlisted because the retirement isn't good enough, and I wouldn't want to be a commissioned officer because 1) I hate having to politic and kiss ass just to make sure I got promoted and 2) Officers are only on the teams until they hit MAJ - then they become staff or command and never go back to the teams.
