Revival: I know this thread's been dead for a few months now, but I figured it would be a perfect place for my question. While looking at all of the track selections and drops from another thread in General Discussion, I've noticed some guys include guard drops and some don't. My question is: when it comes down to specific class track numbers, are guard studs included in the number of total tracks or not?
Example: My class is XL 10-14. Say the AF is only going to hand out five T-38 tracks for my class. There is one guard stud from an F-16 unit. All he has to do is graduate in the top 50% of the class and he's got a -38, which is standard. Does this mean that there are now only four -38 slots for the rest of us AD guys, or are there now 6 total -38 tracks for the class, because the guard guy doesn't affect the AD numbers?
I've talked to a couple of people about this and have searched for a long time, but I can't seem to get anywhere. Thanks for the help.
