Special Forces
If the draft were initiated could you volunteer for special forces?

The way I see it, if I were drafted I wouldn’t want to go to the typical infantry, I’d rather volunteer for special forces training, simply for the advanced training.

Would that be possible?

You have to start out as a regular grunt before going special forces and then you have to make it through the selection process and then the training required.
