Anyways JBLM is a great assignment with a lot to do outside of work.

JBLM, has several airborne units 160th SOAR, 1st SFG, 2/75th Ranger BN, and rigger. Good luck and get your legs strong and your run time down. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 28 Nov 2020 16:47:40 -0500 2020-11-28T16:47:40-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/i-m-in-ait-about-a-month-from-graduation-i-have-orders-for-jblm-and-i-also-volunteered-for-airborne-school-any-advice?n=6536492&urlhash=6536492 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you go to Airborne school, your duty assignment will generally get changed. Later in your career you will be able to go to JBLM if you like.

I was a combat wrench I was stuck with MP’s. Not all were rough. I don’t know what it’s like for infantry, but did me it sucked.
