Ok folks i'll draw a freaking diagram

Step one: Go to baisic and finish
Step Two: AIT (Specialized job training) for special forces this is infantry school
Advanced Individual Training
Step Three: AirBorne School
Step Four: Special Forces training

You do NOT need to be airborne qualified to be special forces.

AS for what makes basic differant from airborne. That should be obvious. Basic teaches basic soldiering skills that ever person in the army needs. AIT teaches the recruit there job. Like a radio man would be further trained on the radio during AIT. Airborne school is the teaching of airborne assualt, mass parachute exit, and landing. There are seperate stages during the school. Ground week, tower week, and airborn jumps which if i recall is two weeks. After you are airborne qualified you can be placed in any unit within the army not just an airborne unit. Though do to demand you will likly be placed in one. After all this then you may take a test to see if you've got the knowledge to start special forces training.

The term Special Forces is two fold.

1. It is a trained unit within the army
2. It is a term used to describe elite units within the army that are not "Special Forces" Classified.
A. Rangers
B. Delta Force
C. Green Berets

Within the army the general feel is that the "Special Forces" are the low end of all "Special Forces" units.

Higher Archy of Pestege

1. Delta Force
2. Green Berets
3. Rangers
4. Special Forces

Delta force is a secret organization and does not have a unit patch or any identifing markers on there uniform. Green Berets wear, well green berets. Rangers wear a tan beret and the covited ranger tab. Spec For also has a tab with no special color.

Any one need anything else?
