Another question is it restricted to only certain MOSs?
He might have a few bad habits being as I trained him. He'd probably need to use target faces that had antlers on them  |
Short answer from the USASFC(A) perspective - he can't. It is MOS and unit of assignment restricted and he has to be on the standby list. My shop attends every inprocessing (usually my SGM) and there would be hell to pay if a slot wasn't properly allocated. If he's still in SWCS there might be work-arounds but I wouldn't bet on it (especially not with guys on teams that need the training - that hell to pay thing again). YMMV

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
