Just got my orders and they say that's where I'm going, kinda bummed, I wanted 2-505 but it is what it is, any experience here? Or is it possible to request to go to 2-505?

grass always looks greener on the other side; until you cross the road and find out that a large dog crapped all over the sidewalk and the grass is astroturf.

Your orders should show what brigade your assigned to and when you arrive you're assigned to a battalion.

SPC (Join to see) no usually when they slot you into a unit it's because they need x amount of soldiers so they wont change your unit on preference. It's the same way with when you PCS, needs of the Army always.

I can tell you first hand that commo guys get moved around quite a bit within a brigade. Since 2-505 is in your brigade it wouldn't even require you to put it in for an intrapost transfer to get switched. Just stick around for a while and if you haven't been sent over there by the time you become an NCO or gain a reputation as a commo whizkid, go talk to your battalion command sergeant major and see if he is willing to work a trade with the 2-505 CSM.
