If you're an Army Aviator you'll be presented with information during flight school. If you're looking to join 160th you'll need to attend a briefing and pass basic prerequisites (GT score, PT score, Airborne training, etc.).
Look around for local information at a military post where 160th has a detachment such as Fort Lewis, WA or Fort Bragg, NC.
Good luck.
Depends on the context, but in terms of US military, it would be Special Operations Aviation Regiment, particularly the 160th, Night Stalkers.
As actual operators? None. The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment is open to females, but Special Forces groups, Ranger Battalions, SEAL teams, etc. are not. The unit may have female personnel assigned to in, but in non-operational roles - for instance, you may see females assigned to Special Forces, but they'll wear the maroon beret, rather than green, and won't wear the Special Forces tab above their patch, because they're not actually SF operators.
A few different types. The M134 and M134D Minigun in 7.62x51 is still in use, most notably by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. The M167 Vulcan in 20x102mm has been phased out of the US military, but remains in use with other militaries worldwide, while the M61 Vulcan and M197 20x102mm cannons remains in use on aircraft mounted applications.
All branches of the US military have a Special Operations unit, except for the Coast Guard. Army- Rangers, Special Forces, Delta, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment Navy- SEALs, SWCCs Air Force- Special Tactics: Combat Controllers, Pararescue, Special Operation Weather Technicians; Marines- Recon Battalions (not exactly special operations, but, more specialized than infantry) Force Recon Companies, MarSoc Coast Guard - no real SOF units, but they do have a Deployable Operations Group which acts as their "door-kicking" unit. In the past few years, they have been sending a handful of people to BUD/S, but as far as I know, only about 5-6 have passed.

Yes, Tom Selleck was in the military. He served in the 160th Infantry in the California National Guard.
160th episode of Doctor Who is in two parts : "Aliens of London"/"World War Three" .
Marines do not have "Green Berets".These are the following Special Operations (Not all fall under Special Warfare Command) in each branch: (Also: I absolutely had to make an account to answer this correctly, it bugs me when it's wrong... AND each Branch has it's own Intelligence Field, which is part of Special Operations as a whole).US ARMY: Notes: Army SF started in Vietnam, but can trace it's lineage to World War II, but it's concept goes back to the Dawn of Modern Warfare.-Special Forces (Green Berets)-Army Rangers (75th Ranger Regiment only)-160th SOAR (Special Operations Aviation Regiment)-Public Affairs & Psychological OperationsUS Navy (Not including Marine Corps)Note: Navy Special Warfare started around the same time as Army SF, but has heritage in World War II-Navy Seals-Special Warfare Combatant Crewman (SWCC)-EOD-Divers-Rescue Swimmers (AIRR)US Air Force: Notes: When having superior Air Power in ground combat became a requirement in all Warfare, the US Air Force was made (After World War II). With this, Air Force Liaisons that knew how Air Craft worked in performing airstrikes, that could also communicate effectively with Pilots, became a "thing". Thus, the Battlefield Airmen (as they are properly called), were born.-Combat Controllers (CCT)-Pararescue Jumpers (PJ)-Special Operations Weathermen (SOWT)-Tactical Air Control Party Specialists (TACP)-SERE InstructorsUS Marine Corps Notes: Marines fall under the Department of the Navy. The Marine Corps Special Operations is fairly new, compared to our other Special operations Forces (SOF). They include the following list, and possibly more. From what an NCO from the Corp once told me, Marine Recon is not Special Warfare, while Force Recon and MARSOC is.-US Marine Corps Force Recon-Marine Corps Special Operations (MARSOC: Not Green Berets, but they also conduct the same job as a Green Berets...Such as Unconventional Warfare, Foreign Internal Defense, Direct Action, ETC....)Answer was edited by: B Z
