I would really like to be attached to a line company when I PCS to Fort Drum later this year. I am on  orders to 1-87 Infantry. I would really like to branch out from the headquarters side of the Army. I served on a PSD for 7 months of my last deployment to Afghanistan and I loved it. I like being outside the wire. My biggest fear is to deploy and be stuck on the FOB. Any way of setting in for a line company spot ahead of time? Or is it mainly just for 25C? If there is any possible way I could go to  line company I would be more than happy. Let me know if you have any advice.

SGT Grome,
The best thing to do as a 25U is talk to your BDE S6 NCOIC, the hard part is that there going to see that you are Promotable and the lowest you will see is BN level as a 25U. Company level is generally SGT and below. A good BDE S6 NCOIC will listen to what the signal soldiers want to do.

Good luck, I been trying to go Infantry for a couple of years now and still nothing. But talk to career counselors and keep on trying and let me know if you get anywhere.
