I would joke "prepare for the suck" but that's only due to being stationed there for 4 years of my life. I'm sure someone else who has actually served in 1st Cav can give you better guidance.

You will report to replacement detachment, spend a week to 20 days there and get your finial unit of assignment a few days out.
Do not listen to ANYONE, myself included on your new unit..go and discover yourself, it is largely what you make of it. If you don't like how you are received at the new unit, DON'T receive the next new guy the same way.
If you don't like that junior leaders lead from the back, have a do as I say, not as I do mentality SHOW them a different way, don't waste your breath telling them... raise the bar and they will follow, or fall by the way side.

I was in 1st Cav 2005~2013

MSG in 2-5Bn S3, 1SG Aco 2-5, S3 SGM 2-5, SGM 1CD G3....ask me a specific question i'll give you a specific answer.

Fort Hood is actually a good duty station. You're roughly 4 hours from Houston,3 hours from Dallas, 90 minutes from San Antonio, and 1 hour from Austin. I enjoyed just finding some fishing holes nearby and relaxing.

Other than the CAV way, Ft. Hood is a good post. Your unit is currently in Korea but your PSG has reached out to you, so you have what you need. Good luck

Congratulations on the MOS and the new assignment. Once you get settled in I'd recommend visiting the 1st ACB and their ATC team. Standardization is an important process in launch and recovery ops and they have some great TTPs you could adopt into your operation. 1st Team!

Get use to hearing "Welcome to the Great Place!" Hood is good, or what you make of it.
