[QUOTE="97desertCobra, post: 14259756, member: 53488"] NG SF drill like any other MDAY unit in the NG, which is one weekend a month and two weeks a year. However, given that 19th and 20th SFG are SF their weekends are typically 4 days as opposed to other units 2, and the annual training is longer, 3-4 weeks vs 2 that the rest of the NG will typically do. With all that being said I've been told that in NG SF you can be as busy as you want to be between drills with plenty of training opportunities and schools. Thing to remember, its still not active duty so you can't expect to make a living off of the training, schools, deployments etc. You will need to have a civilian career as well. As for it being easier to get selected in NG SF I would say that isn't true. They still have to pass all the same requirements that Active Duty would at SFAS and Q Course. However, I have read that NG SF has a higher selection rate compared to AD because the Groups train their candidates for months, maybe even a year before they send them to SFAS. So when you go they know you are ready and have a good chance of getting selected. Going SF in the NG has its own hoops you have to go through. svtfocus2cobra I suggest going to [url]http://www.nationalguard.com/forums/[/url] There is a section dedicated to SF and SF recruitment. Search there and for unanswered questions PM SF Hunter. [/QUOTE]
