As a 35s do you go to the field?

I can tell you from my experience that we are barely deployed, and mostly strategic. I’m currently stationed a at Buckley AFB, if that says anything. I have even asked for airborne many times only to be denied

Yes, you will go to the field depending where you are stationed. Maybe not at Meade or Buckley, but Germany and Korea or SOF, yes. You’ll likely only deploy if you go to a SOF assignment. It’s a desk job. But there is no guarantee you will ever actually do your job wherever you go. The overwhelming majority of 35S never do their jobs. I was a 35F in the reserves And reclassed to Sierra when I went active.

35S’s are quite the unicorn. They’re rare, but sought after for their technical skills. So fair warning here, be open to any assignment. You’ll never know what experience it may bring. It’s all a matter of how you adapt to it. Know that there’s always the chance that Big Army needs you with a TAC unit whether it’s with the Infantry, the Combat Engineers, or at a MICO in Airborne land to include the SOF community. If you haven’t already, have that conversation with your Squad Leader, Retention NCO, and/or Career Manager. If anything, call your Branch Manager up at HRC and seek advice. You gotta let someone know before they make that decision for you. Good luck and glad to see your will to serve is alive and well.
