Do the SFGs send guys to the Sapper Course? Well, it's not a matter of policy to NOT send a guy there if there is a slot. I don't know that SFG's are MTOE authorized fixed slots per year, however. That is not to say that there are no such slots specifically allocated to an SFG, I just have not heard of it.
Simply put, if a guy really wants to go and there is a slot available - and the time available - then the guy gets orders and goes there. It's no big deal. As long as it is arranged through the SFG "School's NCO" and with the consent of the Chain of Command - like any other course.
