Army diver

Hey everyone my name is Jack im 17 and currently a junior in high school. I recently enlisted into the Army National Guard as an 11B and I leave for basic training on June 10

One of my long term goals is to eventually pursue Army Combat Diver School or a similar path later in my career. I understand thats a difficult road and not something that happens quickly especially coming from the National Guard side but its something I want to seriously work toward after basic and once I get established in my unit

I was hoping to hear from anyone with experience in Combat Diver training Special Forces or other similar fields. Im mainly looking for advice on what I should focus on after training to put myself in the best position possible later on whether thats swimming water confidence conditioning schools to pursue or just general career advice

Is it harder for commissioned or enlisted (vice versa) or is it equal all the way around.

I know I have a lot to learn and a long way to go but I wanted to start learning from people who already have experience in that world.

I appreciate any advice thank you
