It all depends on your company and bn. For example during our rotation, our company sent all the non quals to SFAS/SFQC. Bn did both and sent guys with us to A-stan to fill a variety of roles.

Some of the guys were non mos Q working in support MOS's who had no intention of going SF. For example, some of the best vehicle mechanics in the FOB were non mos Q. Just guys who worked in the civilian market as mechanics and were shit hot on non U.S. and US vehicles.

Other non mos q guys were assigned to the FOB and did BDOC, convoy and other shit details while waiting for orders for SFAS and SFQC.

The only non mos Q guys working at our firebase were the mechanics who litteraly kept that place working.
