Super.

No wait, I'm sure you would have shown up at that NG Company and told them right off the bat that you had no intention of serving with them and that you were simply using them to get a slot into SFAS/Q etc enroute to AD Right? ... Sure you would.

Yep, it's all within the rules....but I don't like people who from jump street misrepresent themselves to work an angle for personal benefit.

From that statement, you sound like one of those people.

I hope that I am wrong, and/or hope some AD team doesn't find that that to be true the hard way.
I did not in any way mean it in that manner abc_123. My plan was one of longevity which I often don't say on the forum due to the fact that I am not SF qualified. I was planning on going into the Guard group and staying there for as long as necessary to gain experience then if I gained the necessary competence and tactical proficency, put in a packet to go warrant in which time I planned to have gone Active Duty.

I by no means was going to waste the time and jump ship that quickly. I am not the type of person to burn bridges in that manner and to screw people over. I researched and talked to several AD recruiters to see if there was a way for me, being already four years into my contract to get onto AD for fear of being perceived as I have just been seen. A few days ago I found out that I could get into the 18x program thus changing the plans I originally had.
