Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - Officer Candidate, looking to branch in a support roll for the 19th out of Los Al

A/5/19th does not have any "support roles" for LT's.

Without going into details that are available from any number of open sources, there are only two or three enlisted support positions in an SF company, support is at BN level and above.

No dig on you, once we decide that we want to go SF, we want to get there as soon as possible.

MI and IN are both good feeder branches for going 18A, but you will need to get your PL time done and you will need to complete the resident MCCC at Benning regardless of your Basic Branch prior to going to the 18A course.

SFAS, MCCC, and SFQC are a long process in the Guard.

If you have time at drill in Jan and want more details about the process, come see me in BLDG 822.
