Do I have to be in the Texas Army National Guard (TXARNG) to attend Special Forces Assessment Drill (SFAD)?
All military personnel can attend SFAD. That includes: Army and Air Guardsmen from Texas or other States; Active Duty from any branch; Reservists from any branch; and Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR) personnel from any branch. Caveat – Active duty that are committed to ETSing need to talk to their Reserve Component Career Counselor (RCCC) first. IRR personnel need to talk to their manager and it may be that one will attend on their own, financially. All will need a memo signed from their commander (part of the SFAD packet). Civilians and Prior Service not on IRR status cannot attend until after enlistment.
