You said the training in SF is the same whether Reserve or AD or NG and what I said was BS. Read this from me a man who served in SF on active duty and this is from SF HQ at the start of this last war. As I stated it is not easy to train NG SF. In fact, there are no reserve SF units these days. Only the active duty groups and the 19th and 20th. When you say a man who served in SF is spouting BS you had best have been in SF yourself. READ.

I made no such claim.

I did and it sounds like there was an issue with equipment and a shortage of FT staff and for training for NG units. However:
‘‘They drill two days a month, maybe three in some cases, and attempt to sustain the same training levels and minimums as do the active component, because there is one standard, and they do so,’’ Burford said.
Skeptics wonder if part-timers can meet the rigorous standards, especially for combat-oriented jobs where there are no civilian equivalents.
Burford points to one National Guard company that reported to Fort Bragg.
‘‘On the day they got here, they scored 285 as an average on their P.T. test,’’ Burford said. ‘‘They are not at all, by any stretch of the imagination, second-class citizens.’’
That was out of a maximum of 300 points.
‘‘That’s pretty good for a guy who yesterday was a banker and today is a Special Forces soldier,’’ Burford said.
