My apologies if the title is a little vague. I have not been able to find much info on this topic so figured I'd take initiative for my self and see what I could find out. Does anyone know a rough guess on how long or how the pipeline would differ for an currently serving airborne certified E5 in the national guard SF groups? Any info or feedback anyone could possibly give would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The timeline starts with how soon a unit near you is conducting a SFRE.
Pass that, and it's how soon you can complete an SF physical, then how fast the unit can book you for SFAS. Then how soon the unit can book you for SFQC.
You have ABN and BLC done, so that will save you 6 weeks, the rest of the Q is 14-18 months depending on language, 24-28 months for 18D.
That's with no recycles.
From Maine, I recommend starting with Company C, 1st Bn 20th SFG in Springfield, Massachusetts, or Company A, 2nd Bn 19th SFG in Middleton, Rhode Island.
Try to avoid flying cross-country for this.

This was exactly the information I was looking for Sergeant Major. Thank you for the reply and the detailed information. I'm pretty new to Rallypoint so I apologize if it was Abit too vague if a question. I figured using the mindset of no question is a stupid question might work in my favor. Thank you again!
