This will be my first assignment to Fort Bragg. Also, this will be the first assignment on the unconventional side of the house. Is there a difference between serving in a line unit (e.g., 82ABN) as opposed to an SOF/SMU unit?

There is a big difference depending on your rank and mos.

SOF and SMU units get better varity and supplies of equiptment too (this also includes the Soldiers supporting the personnel that are in the same unit they get to use better equiptment for S-1/S-2 etc...).

Conventional SUCKS!!!
