Before the first term in Special Forces, players must distribute (9 + Cognition) skill points among background skills, with no more than 3 points in any skill except each chosen Language cascade. You must allocate at least 3 points to one Language cascade. All points placed in any Language cascade count double during this step (and only this step). Any Language cascade receiving at least 3 points (doubled to 6) is a native language. You MUST have at least two native languages to qualify for Special Forces.
If you wish, you may purchase any of the listed qualifications (marked by a /. Example: /SCUBA) for 3 points each. No other qualifications are available during this step.
Players must also distribute 3 points among any attributes (10+ cost 2 points)
The Character then gains the 18X MOS and takes 1 term (2 years) in the Special Forces. After the first term, the character must choose ONE of the following MOS: 18B, 18C, 18D, 18E,18F or 18O. Be sure to check MOS requirements.
NOTE: 18O may only be selected if a player has EDU 7+ and wants to become Officer
