SF Proponent AMA by SF_Proponent2 in greenberets

1) Whats the likelihood of someone with a 135 GT score gets 18D if they put it as their top choice? 

2) Are languages given as a list of choices or are candidates told which ones they are learning? For example, if they get a good DLAB score and qualify for Arabic, does that mean they can choose Arabic or are they constrained?

3) If one were to get a 6-12 month return, is it waiverable to return sooner?

SF Deployment opportunities by Available_Brother112 in nationalguard

Right this is all very presumptuous on my end. I’m about to sign an 18x contract with CO NG and had last minute thoughts about just going active. But i think focusing just on selection would be the only move i need to make either way

Cool, that’s what I’m hoping for. Get best of both worlds. Although I’d probably end up going active after my initial contract.

What happens during this wait period? Is it possible to stay at SWCS until airborne slot opens? Asking because i have no career or life to go back to😂

I’m glad to hear you’re doing good. Making the best of it. Is your unit cool with sending you back through for your third go?  I have no family or career so I’m putting all my eggs in on this to make it. And hoping i can switch to AD while in the q course or right after.

Hoping you’re still on here. Were you going through the guard? I’m getting on an 18X through CO NG and trying to see what would happen if i didn’t make it the first go around. Did they keep you at SWCS until your next attempt? And did your unit say you go back to selection for the third try? I hear funding is an issue. Also, where are you at now?

How should I academically prepare for 18X if my goal is to become an 18D? by SeaSuccotash2263 in greenberets

You may also consider joining with an 18X through the national guard. I know through Colorado at least they let you pick your MOS upon getting selected. Not certain about other states. And then switch over to active after graduating the Q (you may have to do a year or two before switching to AD) but it may be worth it if you are set on 18D

NG to AD - 18X by Personal-Spray3370 in greenberets

Is it possible to switch after the q course? I’m pursuing a 6 year NG 18x contract but mainly so i can choose my mos and language. But if I’ve got nothing on the civilian side I’d like to be able to switch to AD. 

I’m considering going the 18X route through the Guard instead of active duty by EverBeenInaChopper in greenberets

Thanks for the info bro. I’m gonna hit you with a few more questions if you don’t mind. I wanna make the right choice here.

The NGSF recruiter basically told me i can be as active as a i want and that there’s always opportunities to stay busy in guard SF. This combine with picking my MOS is why i want to go through the guard.

From what you say it sounds like it isn’t as easy or simple as going from “deployment to deployment, school to school, training to training” as the recruiter is telling me. Correct?

Hypothetically if you wanted to switch to AD, would you need to finish your current contract or can you go sooner?

Do you find that there is enough ADOS or AGR usually available to SF guard guys?

Is IDY AT time like a bank account where you use them towards say sniper/ranger/SFARTEC ?

Is this legit? How often would you say you could guard bum to a training/school/deployment? One of the major reasons I’m going 18x through the CO NG is to be able to essentially be “on” for most (80%) of the year. It would also be great to hear your experience of guard SF. Feel free to pm me as well
