As a 25S, how likely is it that I will be stationed in Fort Hood if I request that on my "dream sheet" as my first duty station?

Fort Hood is a pretty easy assignment to get. That being said, assignments are at the needs of the Army and anything can happen. Just depends on how much branch wants to work with you.

How would I go about working with the "branch" sergeant?
Graduating from basic training 2 weeks ago, none of us really know how things work. Regardless, thank you for the reply sergeant!

Chances are, being straight out of basic, that they will just send you where they need you, but it wouldn't hurt getting in touch with him/her.

You seem to have not liked being stationed at Ft. Hood lol. Are the majority of the units in Fort Hood for 25s bad?

Well, it is Fort Hood. The largest base in the Continental US. I'm sure they need a lot of soldiers. However, that question would best be directed to your Branch Manager.

As a 25S, I really enjoy the job. I'm NG, but have completed IST to work with Phoenix and gain deployment experience. My understanding with AD, your duty station is based on 1.) needs of military 2.) maritial status 3.) your level of competency...learn your job, do it well, and you will open up options.

Probably fairly good. I don't know of too many people that actually request FT Hood, and there are two ESBs (62d and 57th) there not including all the maneuver units that may have 25S positions.

Hello private Kim I would like to give an answer tied to your MOS now. So your MOS is divided into two fields Strategic (indoors 30+ft antennas) and Tactical(out doors 8 ft antenna). How this works is in AIT you will have a slightly longer AIT for those selected to go Strategic. To my knowledge Fort Hood does not have a strategic satellite communications site. Before you pull strings to get into the Tactical assignment be aware those of us who went Strategic have far better post military careers because the equipment is commercial off the self and you will work with more contractors and vendors who can set you up with a job.

Thank you for the great insight. Did you get out after 1 enlistment and start working on the civilian side? I am curious because that is my plan as of yet. And I will contact the branch manager after we are assigned tact or strat, but for the most part, our instructor said that most, if not all of us are going tact.

Depends on if you are trained in tac or strat...if you are strat it's unlikely if tac you have a good chance at getting it.

I remember dream sheets. They were just that for me because of the needs of the Army.
