Where can I find OPTEMPO information on being a 37F or 37X? Where can I find a POC?

My daughter is considering 37F, any info on current Optempo or a good POC is greatly appreciated? Thanks much

Tell her don't join 37X, enlist as another MOS and then go to selection once she's at her first duty station. The Xray pipelines have high attrition rate and when you fail you are now stuck with a five year contract and your MOS is the needs of the Army

Bloxorz is an intriguing puzzle game in which you have to move a cylindrical box to reach the red destination by rolling on the platforms. Conquer all levels!

The regiment works at 2:1 dwell. 2 months home for every 1 month deployed. This doesn’t include CTCs, CERTEXs, and VALEXs. Deployments are typically 6 months and generally language aligned, ie. PACOM based language speakers deploy to PACOM, EUCOM to EUCOM, etc.

While I spent 15 years as a 37F, active duty, even then it was 2:1 dwell. However, many weren't that lucky. The OPTEMPO was high, but a very satisfying job. Definitely set me up for a career after retirement. I would also recommend against the 37X program. Need to get feet wet first and then decide.

If you live near an Army installation see the 37F Recruiter. He or she will give you and your daughter all the information you need.
