What kind?  Recruiting for military members?  Recruiting for people at a job fair?  Recruiting for an ultra-secret underground mercenary group connected to the government? Recruiting to join an illicit terrorist group?  Please share what recruitment you're talking about...

Specialist 4th Class.  They are often called Spec fours.  \n\nBasically you join up and are a private E-1 through basic training.  Next rank is private E-2, then moving up to Private First Class E-3.  Then it gets a little more complicated.  E-4 is either a Specialist 4th Class or a Corporal.  The difference between the two is that a Corporal is a leadership position.  Specialist is just that, a specialist.  After than come the Sergeant ranks.  Might just be easier looking at the link below.

Seals would be imo the best you can apply for.\n\n\nThen, there is one you just need to be invited into.

This is an estimate, but the last actions of these types were probably used in the Korean conflict, at least to public knowledge.  Bluntly, airborne is how alot of special ops missions are sent out (hence the HALO 'High Altitude Low Opening' jump that the seals and other spec ops do.)

Well, if you were in a "need to know" position you wouldn't be asking this question. So, with that said...NUNYA...that would be None ya business!!! In the military, we call that OPSEC....or Operational Security for you civilians. We train in secrecy so the bad guys don't know what's coming. So, if any of you idiots out there are thinking of answering this question...remember it deals with Nation Security.

They joined the Military to do one thing and one thing only.  DEFEND AMERICA FROM FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC ENEMIES.  If you don't want to fight in a war, then don't join the Military.  I spent 8 years in the field of Special Operations, and know the sacrifices that have to be made by service members.  I support whatever the President of The United States calls for concerning the U.S. Military.
