Ft Bragg had a 2 wk JS ?

[LRS Guy]

The NG SF groups used to run 2 week JS in Ft McCoy WS and in Utah. Basicly they worked everybody long hours and no weekend off. I have talked to folks who went....evidently it was a smoker.

I have good friend who was on the Airborne Committee that SF had in Panama. I don't how long it was, but he said they "ran the shit out of the students".

The Air Assualt school I went to was also a compressed class it was 8 days long. It was run at Camp Gruber OK by the NG. It was a well run crs too.

Also the legandary 1st Special Service Force of WWII fame ran a compressed JS about a week long. Though not sure if they did all 5 jumps though?

My old team sergeant was one of the instructors for the JM school they ran there. George Matsumoto was a hulluva guy. Went through BAC in 1956 and was on status continuously until he retired, I believe in 1997.

Wow, think of the changes he seen thru that time period.

I heard a wild rumor once about a 2 week BAC ran by NG SF types.

I have my doubts.

Reserve SF. 11th Group actually. It was run at Devens a few times and at least once at Bragg. Late 70s, early 80s. Same deal as what LRS mentioned for the NG Groups out west.
