For Force Management officers, what has your experience been like in an FA50 role?

Hello all,

Does anyone know an Army officer who is a Functional Area 50 (FA50)?

I know it's a long shot; there's only around 200 of them in the entire Army. I want to speak with someone in this career field and ask a few questions regarding their experience in an FA50 roll.

I'm getting ready to apply for a direct commission to this specialty and have never personally met anyone in this Army specialty.

Email the .mil address attached to the FA50 webpage and ask them for contact info for a couple officers in that specialty (especially former DC officers) so you can ask questions.

Email me at [login to see] and I'll put you in contact with our Force Management team. They are all FA50 at a division (one star General) level.
