What MOS would best prepare for Special Forces?
An Infantry Officer (11)
Psychological Operations Officer (37)
Medical Corp Officer (62)
Engineer (21)
??????? I know it doesnt matter and that if i want it, its not gona matter what i choose, im just looking for some military experience’s opinion.
I several SF Officers, whose prior branch was infantry, MI, Arty, and even MP. Sure, infantry on the surface seems to be a logical choice. However, leadership is being calm under pressure is paramount. Therefore, as long as your weren’t AG, or something, it’ll be okay.
I would suggest that you choose a branch that you wouldn’t mind spending a career doing. what happens if you break your leg during training and have to go back to your basic branch? Contengency is key.
Good luck.
Infantry hands down.

There is no possible way to prepare for what you will experience in the training process for Special Forces. But if you must try I would recommend going 11B with Airborne Ranger School. That’s probably about as close as you will get. While your in basic, volunteer for everything you possibly can whether its training dogs or taking medic classes. Do whatever your drill sergeants offer. But like I said, even this cant prepare you for Special Forces.
