You can't volunteer for deployments. Units go to deployment, not people. When your unit is alerted for a deployment that's when you'll go. If you want to increase your chance of being in one of those units go to Airborne School

You have to change your mass code to VOLUNTEER (VOL)

I called my branch but, I was in a really small career field so it was pretty easy. At the time there was only 250 photographers in the Army. Maybe the same number of video people and illustrators.

You already did, the day you raised your right hand and took your enlistment oath. Know is a matter of timing for you to go!
