What advice do you have for someone looking to reclassify to Infantry and pursue SFAB (or SFAC)?

Does anybody know anything about SFAB (or SFAC)and could they give me any pointers and further information on how to join and how it is(goes)? My current MOS cant be sfab so i will probably reclass to 11B, any help is appreciated?

There's 4 ways to reclass to 11B: Reenlistment class seat, reclass without training from 11C, go to Ranger school and reclass after, and finally go to Ranger Regiment and let them reclass you if you pass RASP.

11B reclass seats are weirdly hard to come by and have been for the last few years. But you can probably get an 11C class seat, they have those in SFAB.

I do not recommend 11B just because you want to go to SFAB. That is because SFAB is only a broadening assignment and you will spend more time out of SFAB than in it to get your Key Development time. SFAB wont even consider an 11B until you are eligible for SSG, but it is best to wait until you get 24 months Squad Leader time. There are other MOSs that do not have KD time that could leave you in SFAB for a lot longer periods of time. Look into 92Y, 91B, 13F, 25U and 68W.
