Welcome, as for the German Forces you may at any time request a transfer- this is your right, but if it will be accepted is the question. For Germany the transfer to combat units isn't that hard because most soldiers would prefer a save job ;). Especially units with high casualty rates like the KSK (commando special forces) are searching for soldiers all the time, but they have to pass the testings and that rarely is the case (KSK has had insufficient soldiers since it was created).
I would think that in the US every soldier also has the right to request a transfer into another branch. In any case we would first speak to our assigned personnel consultant... he would tell us if it is possible / what is possible and what posts are available and what I'd have to do to make it happen...
