Policy of the 1/20 and 20 in general has been, when mobilized, to send the NQP from the mob station direct to Bragg to resume their place in the pipeline: SFAS, SOPC-I or -II, SFQC.
There are limited exceptions. For instance, we had an ODB that used one ex-base station chief and one ham operator instead of tabbed communicators. It worked.
Each exception required not only the letter of exception mentioned above, but also a lot of convincing at each level of the chain of command.
This was the policy of our group and battalion commanders; since then, there are new men in place, but I expect the policy will stay the same. It worked out pretty well.
For those that worry about the war ending before they finish SFQC... don't.
