How do Special Forces Contracts work?
I'm a little confused how they work because you have to be an E5 to be able to be selected for recruitment.

You start off as a Private First Class (or Specialist if you have a degree) under the 18X contract and are promoted as you complete the pipeline. By the time you graduate, you will have fulfilled all the requirements for promotion to Sergeant and be an E-5.
To apply for selection as someone who is already in the Army, yes.

You can attempt to enlist directly into candidacy, as long as you meet the requirements...
