How do you like those apples!
Not sure why the class dates matter, SWCS was tasked to basically give MARSOC all of their POIs.

As I understand it, MARSOC structured their course with a lot less MOS phase time, giving commo guys a week or less of training on their gear. You can't get SF like that way.
