Turn in your conditional release and go active. Otherwise, unless your unit is authorized those slots (yours is not) you won't be going.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 14 at 2019 8:21 PM2019-03-14T20:21:06-04:002019-03-14T20:21:06-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member4449531<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The reserves have very few slots, and only the best of the best will get those slots. I spent 23 years in the Reserves, and only meet one reservist who ever got a slot.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 14 at 2019 8:31 PM2019-03-14T20:31:08-04:002019-03-14T20:31:08-04:00MAJ Javier Rivera4449545<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Is up to your unit if they are willing to spend the funds, unless your unit MTOE authorized positions... and have the available funds!Response by MAJ Javier Rivera made Mar 14 at 2019 8:38 PM2019-03-14T20:38:03-04:002019-03-14T20:38:03-04:00SGM Bill Frazer4449757<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>1. Your unit must either have a slot for this, or you have to convince them to spend the money to send you. It is free, the unit has to ante up.Response by SGM Bill Frazer made Mar 14 at 2019 10:18 PM2019-03-14T22:18:41-04:002019-03-14T22:18:41-04:00MAJ Private RallyPoint Member4449803<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Join one of the reserve airborne units. Multiple CAPOC units are airborne along with rigger units. Airborne units are also authorized pathfinders which generally get air assault slot. This will require you reclassify to a new MOSResponse by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 14 at 2019 10:49 PM2019-03-14T22:49:45-04:002019-03-14T22:49:45-04:00SFC Casey O'Mally4449828<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Have you tried doing a Navajo War Dance while reciting the Bhagavad Gita while standing in a shielded and grounded pentacle and holding the Spear of Destiny?<br /><br />No?

Think of it this way, who do you think the army would rather train for these schools? Full-time soldiers who eat, live and breathe the army life? Or part-time soldiers who are balancing a civilian job with their army duties?Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 15 at 2019 5:28 PM2019-03-15T17:28:55-04:002019-03-15T17:28:55-04:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member4453002<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Join a Civil Affairs Airborne unit or you can join Advanced ROTC if you are in college.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 15 at 2019 10:34 PM2019-03-15T22:34:24-04:002019-03-15T22:34:24-04:00SPC Damon Hairston4459262<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Finish out your obligation with the Reserve and then find a Guard unit with a slot.

A Mechanized Infantry Battalion in the Montana Guard received about 30 slots. Thanks to quality train-up they all passed.Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 4 at 2020 3:34 AM2020-04-04T03:34:18-04:002020-04-04T03:34:18-04:002019-03-14T20:07:22-04:00
