Contact your first line supervisor and have him/her walk you through the 68W career map, discuss with you how the assignment process works, and introduce you to the Human Resources Command webpage along with your Branch page. There is a wealth of information out there.<br /><br />After that, you guys can sit down and navigate through the FMSWEB site. This page is very useful in identifying resource allocations.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://fmsweb.army.mil/unprotected/splash/">https://fmsweb.army.mil/unprotected/splash/</a>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What's a 68W? I am too lazy to Google it on your behalf.

Our unit was responsible for establishing a mobile causeway pier and ferry system that downloaded all of the supplies for the science and research center. The picture shows our pier pulled up next to the Green Wave ship. It was an awesome experience. I would contact your 1SG and ask him to talk to your Branch manager and find out if that&#39;s an option.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Antarctica is very hard to get stationed at since its considered international but not impossible.Like MSG Steven Stankovich stated contact first line for career map and then contact HR to see if its possible to get a spot. Looking and asking some questions doesn&#39;t hurt.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Did you ever get to Antartica, fire dancer?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are probably a few Army personnel down there. Do some research and find out if you can get an assignment there.
