Good morning all. I am a 68W at Fort Bragg and I am looking at trying for 18D. I am looking for info on what to expect day to day and what my family and I can do to prepair mentally. Everything I have read is very vague and I am trying to firm up what we can expect. Like how long I will be gone etc.

You should focus on passing SFAS first. You might not even receive 18D as an MOS. When I was selected, I was a 68W and I received the MOS 18E. It's about what the Regiment needs, not what you want.
You won't find accurate information on the specifics of the course because it's constantly being rearranged.

Right now, I suggest you focus on the steak and not the peas. Get into Selection and pass that first. Everything else will fall into place.

Don't get me wrong, the q course is my primary concern currently. I am just want to be sure I know what I am signing up for. I want to plan around training if possible.

You should be focused on making it through selection first. IF you are selected to attend the Q course you will then have to fill out a wish list where you rank your preferred MOS (18B, 18C, 18D, 18E), preferred group, and preferred language. A board then assigns your MOS, group, and language based upon the needs of Special Forces at that time, though most are able to get the MOS they desire.

The q course is my main concern certainly. I just want to know what I'm signing up for and plan to the best of my ability.
