I don't think the Guard is going to want to eat that bill.

The SFQC is designed to be run continuously (more or less) because each phase builds on preceding phases. In the olden days, there was an SF correspondence course with short, two week resident phases. The program was, IMHO a failure and produced SF soldiers with a significant training deficit to their full-time counterparts.

If you want to earn the beret and Tab, plan on dedicating yourself to it, or just go to the surplus store and buy them.
