Scorpion6:

18C4V and I have been out training thus, causing a delay in answering your questions.

Are you looking at the unit in S.Cal (Los Alamitos)?

Take care.

Lightbulb General info!

If you come thru thinking "I can just do the minimum." Try it and watch what it gets you.

Take care.

Redwood City. The SGM's policy is that guys new to the company do some B-team time before they go to the teams.

You may want to do some reading here and post an introduction in the proper place before posting again.

Looking into joining 19th SFG in CA

Hi,

I'm PO1 Lopez, currently serving in the navy and will be getting out in Oct 06, I've been looking into joining the 19th SFG in CA and would like to know what kind of tests I've have to pass during the tryouts. I've been doing PT and forced marches with 60lbs up to 18 miles. I've also been trying to learn some land navigation on my own just in case is on the tryout. I'll appreciated if any one can provide some advice/guidance. Thanks in advance for the help.

Tom,

Your first post should be here.
The next thing you should do is read all the stickies. Then use the search button. Your questions have been covered in the past.

If you are in one of the NG groups and are a non-select at SFAS, what happens next? I live in Michigan. If a recruiter could better answer this question I would appreciate a phone number. Thank you in advance.

It all depends on if you're a REP 63 or a in-service applicant. In your case since you're a in-service applicant it all depends on why you were a non-select. If you're were a medical drop, STAR no go (land nav), or admin (administrive reasons), you could be given up to 3 chances for SFAS. It all depends on what state you're in. Some give up to 3 and other 2 chances for SFAS.

I'll ask it anyway. Who decides which NG group a soldier drills with. Is it simply a matter of contacting the 19th? Or, is it similar to active duty on a "needs of the Army " basis?

No,
First you have to find a NG SF unit which is closest to you or you are willing to commute to (look at POC page).

Second. Call the unit and talk to the NCOIC of the training det or REC.

Third. Pass their tryouts and get ready (administrively with security clearance and medical) while waiting for SFPC/SFAS slot.
