No, you can become a Tucano QFI having never even seen one in the past. There are a few who've gone straight from EFT to MELIN and METS then been sent to the Tuc CFS course.
A guess at numbers actually puts it at something like 50% FJ, 10% RW, 25% ME, and 15% Creamies. Can't think of many from the Nimrod.
