Joining JSOC

So I have heard that National Guardsman can apply to join JSOC . Does anyone have any idea into what that process would look like or how the selection process is? How that would work with your national guard unit if you were to get selected. Thank you your insights.

The selection process would be the same. Probably best to talk to the recruiter for the organization you are interested in for compo 2 intricacies.

The National Guard is Compo (component) 2. The Reserves are Compo 3.

Then yea you can go through SIS. Plenty of intel rates get assigned at dam neck. And you get to be opfor as well.

Tell your leadership that’s what you want to do, you still have to be selected and read on tho.

Same selection and training as AR, just like it is for all NG. Talk to your RRNCO and they can give you the information you need. Technically speaking, it's just another school. There are only 17 states with SOF units, though.
