I am just seeking answers from those I see qualified to respond. My question was, and still is, what kind of work schedule does 19th group have? Its surely not "a weekend a month, two weeks a year". I understand that deployments will come up, and work will need to get done. Thats great, I love work. I just need to know if it is going to be needing weeks of my time every month, or if it really is more like a weekend. Deployments are of no concern to me, if we deploy awesome. But what of garrison work? What kind of training will be done? How often does the team get together? That kind of info would really help out. Again, sorry for my poor first impression.
Understood.

A minor point, B7A, but there are a number of people on this board who are in positions to decide if you are capable of being an SF soldier, who specifically can stop you from doing that, and as you note, you are not making a good first impression.

You might look up the emergency procedures for what to do once you realize that you are in the bottom of a deep hole.

Four of the people who have responded to your post are SF qualified, I think that the 19th Group regulars are waiting to see how you conduct yourself before they offer any advice. They get to decide if they want to serve with you as well, and I am not sure that they are liking what they are seeing, if you get my drift.

You still have not filled in your profile, do not post again till you have. It is a courtesy here that we require of all new posters, as stated in the instructions that you have already received.
