I'm set to join the 1-32 in January and am trying to get a feel for what to expect, preferably from anyone who is currently there or who has just recently left. Thanks for your help!

Chain-of-Command, SGT (Join to see). Deployment information should not be discussed in open forum.
If you have a POC in the unit, they may be able to let you know.

Roger that, 1SG. I have been seeking a POC for two months now. I'll continue to seek one out. I'll also adjust my question.

Good to go, SGT (Join to see).
If you have assignment instructions, they may already be tracking you.
"Against all odds", I found the SDO phone number for you: [login to see] Staff Duty.

Enjoy Fort Drum. Lots of cool things to see in the area.

Welcome to the 10th Mtn Div and Fort Drum, NY. Your tour at Fort Drum will be memorable. It is located in Upstate NY. Beautiful! Near the Canadian border, the Saint Lawrence River, the Adirondock Mountains, Watertown, Syracuse, and the 1000 Islands - and the one and only Heart Castle. Housing is on post and several places outside of post and up to a 30 minute drive away from post. I recommend getting post housing and/or just off post housing. The winters in Upstate NY are treacherous, it could be challenging to get to work and/or get home. It is COLD (minus 30 degrees) and there is ALOT OF SNOW, so be prepared and do some study on driving/living in a cold harsh environment. I say this because I arrived on December 31, it was quite a change from Texas. Facilities are 1st Class at Fort Drum. Make a reservation at the Fort Drum Inn, so you are sure to get in. Your unit will get you all the info you need as far as your job goes. Be a tourist and encourage your family to visit you while in Fort Drum. Within driving tourist attractions: Niagara Falls (FYI Niagara Falls AFB Inn) , the National Baseball Hall of Fame, USMA West Point (West Point Inn), NY City (Fort Benjamin Harrison Military Lodging and Navy Lodge), Olympic Training Site, Canada, Boston (AFB Inn), and plenty more. Good Luck and have fun.
