I am a 68W who is looking to transfer for a Deployment to Afghanistan. Is anyone aware of a unit (preferably a line unit) with a spot?

I've been in officially 1 decade, 11B Secondary MOS, two tours to Iraq, I'm an experienced ultra runner, and highly motivated on patrol. Infantry, MP preferred, but I'll love anyone who goes outside the wire regularly and puts boots on ground.
Looking to do a transfer from 1st Med on FT Hood to another local unit. Please message me if you're deploying this year.

I second what LCpl Grant Garrison said. Most units are short 68Ws across the board. Your unit will likely not be excited to give you a 4187 transferring you without receiving another medic to replace you. Even if you found a unit deploying, whose medic didn't want to go and was willing to high five you and tag out, as a provider, I want to deploy with a medic I know, trust, and have history with.
I think it's great that you are actively seeking a deployment though. I would recommend talking to your 1SG and CSM. They will have some insight into who needs what, and they are the gatekeepers to your release.

I wasn't trying to. In fact, I was complimenting you. It's also not wise to be condescending to people who are simply being nice. Have a good evening.

I don't think I'm the one confused. I'm not sure how or why you misconstrued my comment, but it was only intended to be complimentary. Again - have a good evening.

That is no way what I was trying to imply, and perhaps my comment was poorly worded. What I was trying to convey, was that if you spoke up more and continued saying things like you did, people are going to agree with you, and that perhaps the reason you haven't been agreed with in the past is because you didn't speak up. Obviously, I have no idea if that's the case. You could be an outgoing individual. Bottom line, it was in no way meant to be derogatory.

I can appreciate that. But please understand that I don't mix words. If I am going to say something that is critical in nature, I don't imply anything - I flat out say it. So, I hope that after my explanation you will take my comment for what it was intended to be - a compliment (obviously poorly worded, and my tone in discernable through text).

I just got my wife moved to division from chem unit to deploy but that is because I work directly with CG and DCSM. Biggest issue you will run into is getting a one for one swap.
