So, I have been communicating with my branch manager and Drill Sergeant branch on and off for the last year, in order to be placed on assignment as a Drill Sergeant candidate. Was told repeatedly that my DEROS (7 Jan 2018) was too far out and should hear something about attending USADSA once my branch releases me. Well, literally 5 minutes ago I check my Outlook and am on assignment to Hood. Haha. Help.

ok - this is going to be a long shot, but when you get to hood, speak to the retention people, they should have, or know how to obtain, drill and recruiter applications. as for being placed on those type of orders, they do not come through your branch, they come through TRADOC

Really, REALLY bad luck. Some other Marines & i all rotated back with orders for Parris Island. They all went to DI school, I went to Marksmanship Instructor. I was last alphabetically... draw your own conclusions.
