Assessment: In my limited experience, the SF company I am assigned to does not offer formal training opportunities (outside of "the pipeline") to those not assigned to the unit (eg. ODB soldiers) or non-SF qualified soldiers (the rest of us sluggos).

IMHO it makes little sense to send a soldier assigned/"owned" by another unit to training or overseas deployments; injuries happen, and a soldier's goals may change (especially after the joys of deployment and combat). It simply is not a good investment.

I cannot and will not speak for the commander's, Sergeant Major's, or "selection board" criteria. However, I know a *few* LT's have made it onto C 1/20's Training Team and into the pipeline. Keep in mind they "belong" to the SF company, and not another unit.

Plan: I suggest calling NG SF companies for the answer. The contact information is posted on this website. C 1/20 SFG (Springfield, MA) phone #'s is supposed to change in the coming week. You'll have to call Massachusetts NG HQ for the # at that point.

I hope this helped.
Nice try-but let's leave the SOAP format for what it is designed for - medical stuff.
And for future reference - the OBJECTIVE portion is your examination results, physical findings you can touch, measure, smell etc...
This entire thread would be considered the history. or SUBJECTIVE portion.

If you want to be more appropriate that cute, try the
