It never would have occurred to me to take leave during SFQC.

Verdad. Stay in SWC / Q Course even longer? No gracias. Survive, advance, get to the regiment. They'll give you pcs leave. Maybe.

I missed my Grandfather's funeral because I had a SFMS test on the Monday he was to be buried.
I could maybe see it if YOU are marrying your sister but that is frowned upon in Special Forces, FYI.

That may depend on what TM you're on...

If he waits long enough he may be able to have his sister in his SFAS class....'course it would be awkward if she got selected and he didn't.

MICLO18D Thanks for the laugh of the day, and it is only 04:30 in the morning.

It may be redundant as the OP hasn't signed in since his last post.
But it's likely if he is selected, that the wedding will fall during Orientation or Language phases. Assuming the Q remains the same till then.
I imagine he could get leave for a long weekend during the "classroom phases"....just saying...

I missed my grandmother's funeral because I was reclassing from Weapons to medic... A Psyop LTC (family friend) ran his HHD on the Mata Mile that day to find me and make sure I knew because my folks could not get through on the CQ phone (pre cell phone). LTC J. actually grabbed the 18D instructor and asked him if I was in the formation.... Hey Sergeant__________, WTF did you do this time? A Fucking Ring Knocking Colonel wants to talk to you, asked for you by name? So, not only did I not go to the funeral, I caught shit for the rest of the course.

Let's see. During my first few years in Group. I missed holidays, births, anniversaries, etc. etc. etc.
I came back from one deployment and Harley C Davis walked up to me as I got off the aircraft, handed me a box of cigars and congratulated me on the birth of my daughter who was born 2 days earlier.
By the time my kids were 6 and 4, I had only seen one or two birthdays and one or two Christmas's due to deployments and schools.
Make darn sure your significant other has a good support base she can rely on when you are gone and that she FULLY realizes how much time you will spend away from her and your family. If she has any hesitations you have three options.
1. Go SF and hopefully your marriage can survive.
2. Don't get married and go SF.
3. Don't go SF.
Good Luck!
