Is there any way you can increase your chances to going to a Group? For example, I want to get attached to 1st SFG, in Fort Lewis. I’m an 88M. Just wanted to know the process to either request it or get selected.

There's no selection. There's absolutely nothing "special" about SFC support, you simply have to be qualified IAW AR 614-200. It's an assignment like any other that you request like a normal assignment

SGT (Join to see) one note about that, you don't have to be airborne qualified already, you just have to be willing to go

Tracking. Main reason why I would do it is to go Airborne, and I guess to have perks as far as fundings for school... plus personal reasons, but I know that’s not taken in consideration lol.SFC (Join to see)

SGT (Join to see) you don't need to go there to go to Airborne school, that's paid for by big Army funds. You just have to request Airborne through your branch manager or reenlistment and you will go to airborne TDY Enroute to your next duty station. If you go to SFG there is no guarantee you will actually go to Airborne school. It's likely, but not guaranteed.

Check your requisitions on ASK....that's how I got assigned to 1st SFG(A), I volunteered. I was also at Bliss before coming to JBLM and Group.

Outstanding! And yes I already have my ASK up to date and everything. Were you already airborne or do they send you?

I was already Airborne from being stationed at Bragg for 7 yrs prior to me going to Bliss. If you have at least a Secret security clearance that will help also.
