What is the rank requirement for 37F?

I was hoping to go 37F after my minimum time on the trail. I noticed the highest rank accepted was SGT, considering I am a SSG, is this true and non waivable or was I reading it wrong?

It’s not true. Sgt is the minimum so if you are a Pfc or specialist and get selected and complete mos you get bumped up to sgt.

As a former SORB Company Commander and PSYOP Officer (37A) I will simply suggest you one thing: talk with a PSYOP Recruiter. He/she will tell you the latest and greatest!

You can always request a grade waiver. If you're an exceptional candidate you may get an exception to policy. What's working against you is that after two years on the trail you will be highly competitive for SFC and would be graduating the Q Course as an E7 but with no experience. So, an ETP will be harder to get.

(MOS 37F), is the Army Psychological Ops Specialist. A minimum score of 107 on the General Technical (GT) portion of the ASVAB test, these are the new standards as of 12 August 2020. You have to submit DA form 4187, it's better to do it upon relisting.

You can apply with a waiver. As long as you meet the GT of 100 and pass the SERE/ Airborne physical. Also, you will need a 210 (70 each event) on your APFT. This will get you classed, selected not so much.

As someone going thru it now, I’m a PV2 and once you pass selection and MOS training they send you to BLC and promote you to SGT you also have to get a 180 (60 each event) on the APFT before even going to selection
