Most of the junior 18 series slots in a Battalion are on the A Teams. So it is "Normal" for "most" 18 guys fresh out of the course to go to A Teams when they show up.

But pulling an established guy off an A Team and replacing him with a guy fresh out of the Q right before they deploy is sometimes not the best course of action.

In a case like that SGM's have been known to retain the new guy on the B Team and swap them out after the deployment.
