Sfas + Sopc????

Good Afternoon,

I am gearing up for SFAS in FY05. I have heard some talk about combining SFAS and SOPC into one course. I asked my POC in 20th SFG and he said he didn't know anything about it. Just curious if anyone knew the latest and is in a position to share any details (course length, etc.?).

Until then, I'll keep rucking....


PS - Reaper are you the same reaper on Socnet?

There are always rumors.

There is a plan to make SOPC I mandatory for everybody, or another plan for just selected people.

SFAS should be separate, even if they do, but for those who are TDY for SOPC/SFAS, it might seem that they are run together.

Everything is subject to change on one classes notice.

I was The Reaper at SOCNET. Reaper375 is a different guy, Ranger, not SF.

HTH.

I just started looking at Socnet. Your writing style was similiar, so I took a shot in the dark.

Thanks for posting the Selectees/Non-Selectees "what would they have trained harder on" and "the things most people FUBAR at SFAS."



(You'll have to forgive the FUBAR reference. I went through basic with steel pots, A1's, and 1SG who was in Nam).
