原文：

To better afford enlisted recruits the time and opportunity to find the path of their greatest calling, the U.S. Air Force has created a single path of entry into the special warfare recruiting and initial training pipeline.

The Special Warfare Operator Enlistment Vectoring program will officially commence in early April of this year with a new Air Force Specialty Code for accessions and the first shipment of special warfare candidates to the service's basic military training（BMT）.

This change allows candidates to make a more informed career decision, prior to being vectored, after months of education, training, development, and mentorship, to see what career field might be the best fit for them.

中譯：

為了讓招募進來的新兵能有更充裕的時間與機會，找到最合適的職涯管道，美國空軍最近推出一個可以與特戰招募及入伍訓練管道結合的單一入營管道方案。

今年4月初，第1批接受空軍基本軍事訓練的特種兵人選，將適用新推出的特戰兵入伍導向訓練方案；該方案屆時將配合新式空軍專長號碼獲取辦法，正式啟動。

這個改變可讓特戰兵人選在接受數個月教育、訓練、養成及指導後，在進入入伍導向訓練前，有更充分的資訊，用以決定何者才是最適合自己的專業職能領域。
