Special Mission Units. How does a soldier get to a SMU and what makes you appealing to these units?

SPC,&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>SMUs do roadshow briefings around major military bases. At Fort Campbell they even advertise the event in the local post paper. However, you generally need more experience than what you currently have under your belt though to be considered. If you are interested in learning more about this path, I would encourage you to engage with Special Forces recruiters. Special Forces are a feeder for SMUs, and are also a great place to be on their own. Applying for the Special Forces may be the best option for you right now if you want to do the kinds of things you are thinking about.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>There is a Special Forces recruiter office on Fort Campbell. You should give them a call or just drop by to visit. They are there to speak exactly with people like yourself.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Their contact information is listed on this USAREC page. You just have to take the first step and go and talk to them:</div><div><br></div><div>http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/sfas/poc.html<br></div><div><br></div><div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="http://www.usarec.army.mil/img/sfas_poc.gif"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/sfas/poc.html">Recruiter Locations and POC</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">Ft Benning SF Recruiting

I kind of hinted at this in the other thread you started, but SMU's are mostly an "invite only" kind of deal. You have to meet certain minimum requirements, GT score, time in service, rank, and MOS to name a few, and they will send out an email inviting you to a selection briefing.<br>
