You have to have completed SFAS to attend the SFQC. Officers at SFAS are evaluated more stringently than NCOs at SFAS.

You might, or might not be GTG for Phase II, depending on when you went through.

You have not received the SFDOQC for 18As for Phase III.

You have not attended Robin Sage as a Detachment Commander.

If you can test out in a language for the Group you are being assigned to, you might be able to skip Phase V.

If you have attended SERE Level C, you will not have to attend Phase VI, so you could get by with just attending Phases I-IV.

I don't think you would want to have a Detachment Commander who was only trained to be a 18B30 (or whatever you were trained as).

My understanding was that commissions were offered, not forced upon soldiers.

I think there is a reason for doing it this way, and it makes sense to me. YMMV.
