Any 46Q/R advice?

Talking to recruiter about Prior Service Business Rules and getting back into active duty. One MOS that might be possible is 46Q - soon to be 46S.

Any former/current public affairs soldiers around willing to share their experience with the job? How is the promotion environment? Are there good opportunities out there for deployments/travel?

Just looking for some insight. I honestly don't recall coming across any PA spec or PAO in my previous tours. I did see some combat camera soldiers down range but i'm assuming Public Affairs is a fairly small community.

It’s a very small community but full of good job opportunities as long as you do what you need to do training and educational wise.

Continue to talk to the Branch Manager for broadening assignments and grow your experiences and skills when you can.

What about the promotion environment?
