Leaving Current Unit to go to Group?

This is a tragic mistake I made thinking that 20th Group would send me to jump school. No one at the time explained this bit of info to me - paper work already turned in for interstate transfer and somehow approved. My advice go talk to a career counselor first and then talk to someone in 7th. SFC (Join to see) is spot on - you'll need to work somethings out but this is doable with time and some hard work - Good luck and way to set the bar high.

SPC David S. unfortunately no one in 7th Group has the power to change anything for him. I just came from an assignment at 1st Group and received calls all the time from people who want to get assigned at a Group. The branch manager alone has the ability to assign E6 and below to a Group in Active Component, and E6(P) and higher must submit their packet to the USASOC slating board, they don't have to be airborne to apply though.
It's a common misconception that you can talk to a SGM/CSM who can request you - that's not how assignments work for support personnel. If I had a nickel for every support person who told me that SGM Soandso was trying to get them an assignment at suchandsuch SF Group, that didn't work out, I'd have a whole lot of nickels.

SFC (Join to see) the talking with someone in a group is more so to get informed about what the requirements are for getting into a group. I was wanting to go group not support group and those conversations did help from an informational perspective. I just remember trying to do this very young and dumb and from my perspective it was not a streamlined process - maybe being NG muddied the waters as some of the information I got was not accurate. As well at the time Army was going through a big restructure - all combat arms were being pushed NG and support units to reserves. Me wanting to go SF was not a big priority for the NG. Seemed at the time everyone in combat arms was scrambling to find a unit. Thankfully today there are resources like RP and other social media - young troops today have a ton of information and resources available to them like yourself for instance pointing troops in the right direction - great leadership and mentoring on your part.

SPC David S. the requirements to serve in a Special Forces Group are found in AR 614 - 200. National Guard units in active duty units are a completely different Beast and if he was National Guard the best way to go over there would be to walk over and talk to the National Guard unit. In active duty the requirements to serve in different positions and units is public knowledge and published in regulations.
