Just he mention of that name explains a lot. I had a friend who was assigned to SFAS during his tenor. Every student he recommended for drop in SFAS. Was reinstated and given the ok to attend the Q-Course. They eventually started to pass just about everyone.
Like said above. The Q-Course is where you are given the Beret/Tab. You eventually have to earn the right to wear it forever. There is no perfect selection course out there. It's what the people who serve in the unit selection is for. That make it unique.
