TCS = Temporary Change of Station. The relocation of an service member to a new PDS for a temporary period to perform a long term temporary assignment, and subsequent return of the service member to the previous PDS after assignment completion.

What is your Unit? Depending on home station and Unit. Stryker units are not likely to send someone to Airborne.. perhaps Ranger?

You can only go to Airborne school as part of a PCS to an Airborne unit. Contact your Career Counselor and reenlist for airborne, or contact your Branch Manager and ask for an Airborne assignment. It’s really that easy. You’ll need an Airborne physical, it’s good for two years so you might want to start that now

It will depend on your branch manager. Usually they will get you an airborne assignment and send you when you are in route or your unit will send you when you arrive. If you get orders to the 101st or another leg unit you will not able to go to airborne.
