If you were somehow able to identify who's NG and who is active at Selection, you might see some differences. Some (if not all) Guard units run mini-versions of selection on drill weekends for the "non-qualified personnel", and only send to SFAS those candidates that are thought to have a good chance at being selected. To be sure, some Guard guys have shown up at Selection and immediately failed the PT test, but I'd wager that happens more often with active duty guys.

I'm referring to prior-service Guard guys. REP-63s like myself follow a pipeline similar to 18x-rays, and our home units don't have to sign off on us going to Selection.
