My friends and I talked about that and were told that some NGSF Battalions are having problems getting quality officers in the Guard to come over to tryout for SF. The ones that do request to join and go to SFAS usually are lacking credible Platoon Leader time, physical fitness and simply aren't making through selection. Many of the NGSF ODA's(along with Active SFGs too) lack officers is what we were told.

So this is where the rumor kicks in, some Commanders are interviewing newly commissioned NG 2LTs that have a high PT score, good recommendations, etc and guiding them along the right path so that by the time they do get to be a 1LT, they have experience and the right stuff to go on to selection.

But I'll stop talking about rumors now and wait for someone with actual facts to set me straight.

Thanks in advance,
James
