I do not recall seeing a Guard 2LT in four years of SFAS classes. Not saying that it can't happen, just saying that it would be very rare. Unlike a fraternity, having friends or relatives in SF counts for very little in getting in.
The Colonel is trying to tell you that there are a lot of slips 'tween the cup and the lip. If you fail to make it through OCS, if you do not succeed as a commissioned officer, if you fail to be selected to attend SFAS, if you are not selected for the SFQC, you better have a fall back plan.
If you do some reading here, you will see that we tell people to focus on the 25 meter target. For you, that would be surviving your upcoming deployment, making it through OCS, and getting a degree and a commission in a branch that will set you up for an SF attempt. I would worry a lot less about prepping for SFAS at this point. That will be a long time from now.
Good luck.

Thanks TR. I know that knowing people that are SF won't help me but it doesnt hurt to have mentors and more views, a main reason for me joining this site. It is true that I am looking a bit past my 25M target, and I will remedy that habit of mine. I am constantly well since last nite, digging thru old posts and threads just trying to gather information. The main reason I want to start training now is I want to make this an everyday part of my life or for lack of better words a habit to run, train, and ruck. But I look forward to more advice from you guys and if any is here from 1st Grp and ruck or do PT I would love to come work out with you, I know a few guys from 1st Grp left out to Iraq but if any are still here just shoot me a PM. Thanks again TR and JM .. im off to search more
