Not that I would be eligible for either group but what is the difference between this association and the current Special Forces association?

SOT-As detect, monitor, and exploit threat communications through communications transmission intercept and direction finding. SOT-As also can deploy with SFODs to provide ER, FP, or MTT support. These functions may require SOT-As to:
SOT-A team members can operate in remote, denied areas much like SFODA members. In addition to their linguistic, international Morse code (IMC) and SIGINT skills, SOT-As are trained in tactical and fieldcraft techniques and are certified in the same basic skills as SFODAs. However, SOT-As are rarely certified in advanced SOF skills such as underwater operations (UWO) or military free-fall (MFF).
- Deploy with an SFOD.
- Deploy independently and then infiltrate to join a deployed SFOD.
- Operate independently or with other SOT-As.

This is the email I received:
Thanks for helping spread the word. The SOT-A Association will be for those
who previously or currently serve(d) on a Special Operations Team
(Detachment) - Alpha team. The SF association is primarily for 18 series.
Non-18 can join it as an associate.
Of course we are not a competing organization, just a different one of guys
that have a unique, shared experience.

This thread is pretty old. Did this ever go anywhere?
