Not to downplay any MOS here, but being a 19D is nothing like being in Special Forces other than they are both considered combat arms (as is infantry, armor, and artillery). However, Special Operations as a whole (which includes Special Forces) is a completely different animal that operates off of specialized joint doctrine. Therefore, comparing it to anything else in the military is really not helpful to anyone just joining in my opinion. I know you stated that you don't want to be in the "general infantry," however, infantry is the basis for much of that "tactical stuff" you are referring to. I also believe its a lot easier to go into specialized units from the infantry and even possibly receive specialized training (ranger, airborne, etc.), because you are more likely to be exposed to it and/or people in it when you spend time in infantry units. However you can be any MOS and still go to those schools, but that obviously depends on where you end up and if your command allows it. Whereas, many infantry units require specialized schools such as airborne, ranger, pathfinder, and many others. So, knowing very little about you (other than what you stated), I would say if you want to maximize your chances of getting "specialized" training, you might want to re-consider going 11B-Infantry, and also try getting something like airborne school and/or RASP in your enlistment contract if you really want to go Special Ops. And, you can always still try out for SF later on down the line if you are eligible.

Its like being pregnant- either you are or you are not. Rangers run close to SF, maybe- Scouts are not close!

There is nothing close to "being a special forces soldier basically". Do not ever use that phrase in this company ever again. Scouts are scouts and Green Berets are Green Berets. They serve entirely different purposes.
