Shock and Awe

No there isn't unless they changed it last week. They go by rank once you are in for selection. As an existing soldier in the US Army with the Enlisted rank of E-4 (Corporal/Specialist) or higher, and for Officers the rank of O-2 (1st Lieutenant) promotable to O-3 (Captain), or existing O-3s.
Your best bet is to talk with a SF recruiter( for active duty people only).
Here's a list of them.
