I remember being told by the EFMB NCOIC (dont remember his name now) the 82nd was running back when I was in the SFQC that showing up would be a waste of our (recent 18D grads awaiting Sage) time as we would never pass.
When I asked about it he pointed to his AA patch and said, "this isnt SF."
Asked about the EIB lanes a few days earlier and was told basically the same thing.
