SFAS affecting entrance to Ranger Medic Program?

Post by cbtmed88 »

I was involuntarily withdrawn during SFAS in June of 2009. I did not get hurt and I did not quit, nor did I perform a safety violation. I was filling out a packet for the Ranger Medic program and at the bottom of the second page on the Memorandum it states.

(10) Must not have prior Airborne/Ranger/Special Forces termination or voluntary withdrawal.

Does an Involuntary withdrawal count as a termination?
Please advise, thank you.

'termination' means quit.
Looks like you were just 'not selected'. Try harder.

That does sound weird. Usually guys who aren't performing to standards become 24 day non selects. Athough, back in the day the FOGS told me that there used to be gates in SFAS where you found out if you were allowed to continue to train in SFAS.
