I would like to know how likely it is for a 46s (public affairs mass communication specialist) to deploy after AIT?

Additional question. if deploying is something to expect, how does this work for someone who enrolls to school and is at a 3-5 yr contract, can both be done at the same time?

And lastly, does going active national guard decrease/increase the chances of getting deployed in comparison to someone who works 1 weekend a month?

People are deployed by Unit not MOS. I would research the Units in your area to answer your question.

Deploying with the National Guard isn't based on MOS it's based on your unit and if you choose to volunteer. I know units who have deployed detachments every 2 years like clockwork and units that haven't deployed in 11 years.

Luck of the draw, or you volunteer to jump on as excess or use Tour of Duty.

SPC (Join to see) - I'm somewhat familiar with the 42nd Regional Support Group which is a brigade level element in the NJ ARNG. Their Soldiers recently went to Iraq to help withdraw ammo, supplies, etc.

As for other units, you can find them online but their structure might not be up to date.

The DoD dwell regulation is 4 to 1 do for every day mobilized for deployment you get 4 where you are protected from an involuntary mobilization. If you are mobilized for a year, you're protected for 4 years.
