I have an opportunity to transfer to the 325 Psychological Operations Company (ABN). Does anyone have any experience with Reserve Psyop?

A lot of experience here with Tactical PSYOP on the RC side of the house. Are you looking at transferring to become a 37F or are you looking at one of the other MOSs in the CO?

I agree with LTC Eric Udouj. It depends on your MOS SGT Private RallyPoint Member. Generally speaking; I found Tactical PSYOPS, as an Intelligence officer, to be the ideal assignment. The staff is helpful and there is camaraderie in the United; no one is left behind, unless one is a dud.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member, I served in the 15th Psychological Operations Battalion from NOV81 to JUN86. This was before various elements of the psychological operations organization became airborne which was a disappointment to an old SF trooper like me! Any information that I might offer would likely be out of date so as to not be useful. I do believe the training to become qualified now is quite rigorous. I also think that LTC Eric Udouj can be a most valuable resource for you.
However, the 325th is subordinate to the 15th and my friends at the 15th frequently ask me to join them at Fort Campbell to observe airborne training operations. These two photos were taken on Corregidor DZ at Fort Campbell on 21JAN17, with members of both organizations jumping.

I cannot control these seizures. Ergo, can't drive.

I just ETSed from 338th PsyOp Company. The opportunities are there if you are self motivated. Whether you are impressed with the company when you get there or not, stick it out. If you think changes should be made in the company, be the change you want to see. If you maintain your personal discipline, you can go to Just about any school that is remotely relevant to PsyOp including airborne school, DLI, SERE, and others that don’t come to mind right now.

If you are ready for a demanding mos go for it. It requires intelligence, physical stamina, extreme initiative, and constant training and deployment.

Use to be with 11Th POB in Upper Marlboro MD. Psyop is a great family to be apart of, even though I was the HHC Motor Sergeant and BN Maintenance NCO.
