Hello Gentlemen,
I searched this board for an answer but could not find a satisfactory answer. Hopefully I didn't miss something here
I'm currently prior service enlisting as an 18x in the coming months. I have been preparing for SFAS/SFQC to the best of my ability, mostly through traditional PT and rucking.
I am sure I am physically and mentally prepared for the challenges ahead (as much as one can be) But i have read this board and seen the statistics on how effective SOPC is.
I would like to know if prior service (army) recruits are sent to SOPC. I have read this thread: http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1759&highlight=sopc+prior+service
But it seems to be possibly dated. Some information on the internet has conflicting answers, my recruiter said "he'll look into it" which means it may take a few weeks to get a straight answer. I would be very grateful if someone here with experience as a prior service 18x could educate me.
Thank you
PS: The search terms I used are "SOPC prior service" and "SOPC PS" hopefully I didn't have a brainfart and use the wrong terms
Just wanted to add, I did read this http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37717 thread. The gentleman here is a Prior Service Marine, not Army, which is why I posed this question. I am unsure if the army differentiates PS Marines and PS Army with the training pipeline.
Thank you once again
