Alright so I’m a US Marine trying to go 18x. Talked to the NG recruiter today, and they said best bet is to do 11b then go to Virginia hit a lil 3.5 week training up there, then come back and apply to go to a SFRE when I get back. My question is anyone tried this? Anyone know anything about this? How’s the 11b national guard life? Do units screw you out of going to SFRE? 18x MG life? Any other advice or option would be cool, thanks fellas!
