What to expect with husband going special forces?

My husband is currently deployed to Iraq and will be gone for a year. We have a 2 month old and he just informed me of his intention of going to selection for special forces after block leave from iraq.





I am wondering during the selection process and schools how long he will be gone for each one? Is any of then a school where he is able to come home at night?





Please fill me in on any information!

Selection is a 30 day TDY.





If he pass's selection, then he will get PCS orders to Fort Bragg in a couple of months.





Most of the schools are on Fort Bragg





Individual Skills Phase - about 40 days, he will be in the field for most of it.





MOS Qualification Phase. about 65 days, but is divided before and after thier specific mos course.





The individual mos courses are from 24 weeks to a year long. he should be able to come home more during this phase, since its taught at Fort Bragg.





Then they finish the MOS Qualification Phase.





Then Collective Training Phase - 38 days, he will be in the field during this phase.





Then language training at Fort Bragg, he will be home each night, from 4 to 6 months.





Then SERE school, three weeks, he will be gone for this course.





Then he will be assigned to a special forces unit.





Germany, fort bragg, fort campbell, or korea.








Then you can expect him to go to the field often, and deploy about half of each year.What to expect with husband going special forces?
I wish your husband luck, many of my buddies who felt ready for selection failed out or got injured, and admit it is no joke (but it is also very do-able because I have many other buddies who have been selected). Ask your husband these questions, he knows the answers to them. Selection is not very long, but all the other courses are very long, luckily you are able to be stationed with him, so no worries for you there.
