I would prefer to stay in California, but dealing with recruiters from both states, I’ve had a much more positive experience with Utah.

California doesn't do 18X/Rep 63. Utah has a pretty good Readiness Enhancement Company (REC) that does a pretty good job of getting the 18X/Rep 63's ready with the terrain and high altitude at Camp Williams.

Good luck

Thanks, again. I’ll find more out about RSP and REC once I’ve gotten more of my other legwork done.

I am a 1LT, currently living in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) and I commute down to North Carolina for my SFREs (~7-8hrs). The drive sucks, but worth it in the end. I have IST into the NCARNG, and on the books in a HHC CSSB Unit until I complete SFAS.

As of now, I will be headed to to Oct 20 SFAS class with a handful of other candidates from our SFRE program. So to answer your question, yes guys will travel esp out of state, I am the farthest away in our class, but you shouldn't cut yourself short, just because a unit is not "local".

on the enlisted side its fine until you get to E-8. Then it can get political.

California is now doing 18X/REP 63.
They have about 15 of them today.
And the Recruiting BN IADT manager is responsible for getting them to 11B OSUT.

I’m currently trying to get on the waiting list in CA, but looking at other states with 18x.
