I bent over backwards trying to re enlist and got pushed out bc of the previous administration. now theyre so desperate
I tried this as well. I was a 8 year Marine but I tried to enlist in the Army after being out for 6 years. They gave me 3 options. EOD (blow myself up), Infantry (no thanks, I'm now 35 years old at this time), and Special Forces. As a Marine I was thinking, what the frick? How does one chose special forces as a job? In the Marines we had to be selected for that shite or at least go to the indoc for it. Couldn't believe there was nothing else available for a former NBC bubba.

It's a recruiting gimmick. Sure, you can enlist for 18X...but you have to pass Infantry OSUT. Then Airborne. Then pass selection. You fail any step, NEEDS OF DU ARMEEZ!!!
In other words, a nice pipeline to fill MOSs that no sane person would pick voluntarily.
Then again, it also leaves a pipeline open for the true badasses out there to skip all the bullshite.

Priceless.
The Army is such an insecure shite show.
