SF has had "off the street" enlistments on and off during the past 40 years. The practice varied with the needs of the overall Army force and SF needs.
I was one and spent 20 of 21 years in SF assignments. Each enlistment type, (off the street, late first/second term, long service, prior service {other service}) brings its own plus/minus traits to the table.
Any of those groups can produce a nut-ball or a winner. Each individual will be/is judged on his actions. SFAS was developed to weed out the low end prior to making it to a team. Teams do not have the time to baby sit or grow individuals.
