Would these work? (Steps to getting into Delta Force, which is most likely, which are not possible?)((I know not all of these are considered "Special Forces" by the way...))
1. Army to Army Rangers to Green Berets to Delta Force.
2. Army to Army Rangers to Delta Force.
3. Army to Green Berets to Delta Force.
4. Army to Delta Force.
5. Marines to Army Rangers to Green Berets to Delta Force.
6. Marines to Force Recon to Green Berets to Delta Force.
7. Marines to Green Berets to Delta Force
8. Marines to Delta Force.

My understanding is that: (order of how... elite? not to offend anyone...)((correct me if I'm wrong))
Army-Marines-Army Rangers-Force Recon-Green Berets-Delta Force?
Also:
Would ROTC get me into Special Forces faster?
Can a Marine become an Army Ranger?
Can Army join Marines later on, vice versa?

Could you also tell me what all of these groups specialize in/mainly do?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to figure out what branch I want to join and such...
 
i believe marines and army rangers are equivalent. if u start off as a marine u can then change to any other branch. however to go from army to marines u would have to go through marine bootcamp
 
If you are to go from branch to branch, you must first serve out a specified numbers of years in the first branch joined.

Should you chose to go to another branch, you do NOT have to go to other branches boot camp. You will however need to pass the next branches PT Test (each branch has different requirements).

As for going into Special Forces, more will be needed than just showing up. You will have to pass grueling and above-average, specialized PT Tests, and each branch has its own specifications as well. You will also need to be selected to even begin training into one of these elite training units.

ROTC, Contract lengths, and/or previous experience doesn't matter. It comes down to PT performance, making it all the way through the training, and acceptance. If it was so easy, there wouldn't be but a few hundred in each Special Force specialty.
 
I believe these are questions you need to ask when you speak with a recruiter--before you "join", not after.
