What Robert says is so true. Don't get all wrapped up in "qualification". When the time comes it will bee the man behind the gun and not the paper behind the man that counts.
I personally knew two "Legs" who were on RTs in FOB-2. One was a fine 1-0. The A-Teams in Germany were augmented by ASA personnel while on operations. They were more than worth theit weight. There may be some SIGINT personnel lurking on this board as well as others who can attest to the worth of the "unqualified" SIGINT guys.
Hopefully things have changed (for some reason I doubt it) but there were more than a few "Paper Flashes" running around in my day and filling slots.
