My understanding is that training can be anywhere from about 70 weeks to two years - which leaves three years to work with a team... Is there some issue with admin or support time wherein 18x'ers aren't getting out to a team within their five year contract? Is this your concern?

Your time in the SFQC will vary. From the day I signed my contract to the day I got my beret was a little under two years. I had no holdovers and injuries didn't hold me out of training. However, the medic on my team spent about 4 years in the course, due to the medic course, injuries and the way that the course changed during that time. Best case scenario, if you get a short MOS, it will be about 2 years, and if you get tagged to be a medic, about 3 years. Add time for injuries.
Assuming you get selected, of course.
And don't worry about not getting out to a team within your contract. You will spend at least 36 months on a team no matter what. You will extend your contract and re-enlist if necessary to complete that obligation.
Work on your search-fu. It is weak.
