3. Interviewed with the CSM and got a line number for the unit. (05/05)
4. Joined the NG (while overseas) as an 89D for 3yrs (because it was the minimum time required to get a gauranteed assignment). (07/05)
5. SF Indoc Program (SFIP), drill weekends only, with unit. (09/05 - 12/05)
6. SFAS. (01/06 - 02/06)
7. Airborne. (03/06)
8. SFQC. (04/06 - 01/08)

I was not a REP-63. I did not attend Basic, WLC, or AIT because I was granted a MOS based on my prior military service. I kept my TIS, rank, and, TIG.

Congratulations xSquid!! This is a GREAT post with alot of helpful information, even for myself. The B Co. 3/20th SFG(A) is obviously would be my preferred choice also. I have to take care of some schools at Ft. Benning, Ga. over the next year before I will even be elidgible as a 1LT Promotable. I am actually checking to see if the 1LT Promotable applies to time of Graduation from the SFQC or entry into the SFAS and/or SFQC.

Excellent information again...Thanks for sharing it.

I'm training for tryouts in March,and have tried time after time to call the office, but with no luck in getting contact info. If anyone in here is in the Company, do you have contact info I can get to help me get the ball rolling? I am highly motivated, and my dream is to be one of you elite. Please get back to me.

Have you tried these numbers?

(708) -824-5821/2/3/4

I could be wrong, but IIRC, on Mondays there is no one in the office.

I have tried all of them, and no one. It might be a compressed Monday for them, but there is no way to tell. I will try again tomorrow, any contact info like email address etc. will help, or if anyone is in the unit please contact me.

The phone numbers I gave you are correct.

Mondays are their compressed day.

If no-one answers the phone, you can assume that they are not in the office at the time that you called. Continue to call until you get them. If they are there they will answer the phone...trust me they are not singling you out and ignoring you personally.

Roger that, will do. I got in contact with a QP who has all the info I need. Your help is greatly appreciated.
