My search results indicated you need to be a captain to attend the Q course. That would make me about 35. Is there a way to expedite this process after I am commissioned? Thanks for all of your assisatnace.

I think that, like many others, you have waited too long to make your decision.

There is no guarantee that you will be selected to attend SFAS.

It is Year Group based, and even if you were selected to attend, you would only get one shot.

Not too many teams looking for middle-aged Detachment Commanders with no time in SF, BTW.
