Tour of Duty can only be accessed from your Army reserve unit. When I went to look on tour of Duty, I had to do it from my Army reserve unit.

Find a reserve unit with a reoccurring tasking to provide Soldiers to deploy and contact their Mobilization section. They would much prefer to MOB people who want to go rather than track down those who don't.
Also sign up for S1 Net. They have unit vacancy postings many for deployments as well. This should be cac accessible from Non DOD computers.

Keara, If you are part of a specific Army Reserve command, you need to let the Commander know you are willing and eager to go on active duty in either an AGR or mobilization slot.
Tour of Duty requires CAC access, so you will need to be on the .mil network or VPN into the .mil network. If you are not school qualified for your branch, you likely will not be able to deploy.

2LT (Join to see) - While in your MIBOLC, compete well with the Active duty. We had anyone who was top 10% get offered to accept an active duty position. God Speed in your pursuit.

Also, you can submit a packet on the tour of duty site for any position 1 grade above you (for CPT as well) as long as it’s not restricted by MOS and rank. You can also volunteer for positions with the MOS 01A as those are branch immaterial.

Afternoon 2LT (Join to see)! As others have said, you'll need to check TOD on a networked computer. There are also some opptys that get posted on S1 Net (your admin folks should get the emails) and the MIRC seems to always be looking for a SM or 2 to go somewhere.

Your higher command should have an officer who handles mobilizations. If your RRC has any openings that you can fill he will pull you, all you have to do is let him know. The problem is there are not near as many opportunities these days. Back in 2007 when I was a UA in the 88th RRC all I had to do was call him and give him the soldiers info, usually they would come down on orders when in a few weeks.
