Looking for an Army Reserve position as a CPT in the Airborne Community on the East Coast. Any suggestions?

2015-04-27T06:35:32-04:00

My contract in Saudi is ending over the summer and I have a few positions through USAjobs which look promising. A couple are not MilTech positions so when I come out of the IRR I'd be free to find my own Reserve job and would love to find another position on jump status OR at least working within the Airborne Community. The non-miltech positions are potentially at Fort Lee so Bragg is not out of commuting range. Can anyone make any other suggestions? For the record, I'm KD qualified through BN staff level.

To my knowledge the only Reserve ubits that carry Airborne status are U.S. Army Civil Affairs & Psychological Operations Command (USACAPOC - http://www.usar.army.mil/ourstory/commands/USACAPOC/Pages/Overview.aspx ). Best bet would be to find a Retention NCO at Ft. Lee (or as I call it Fort Leisure) and ask for USACAPOC units

404th CA BN in Ft Dix, NJ or 450th CA BN in Riverdale, MD are your best bets, sir. Both are always on the lookout for Captains.
Good Luck.

USACAPOC at Bragg would certainly be a fit. I know a couple of LTCs that work there if you need a contact. I also know people in USARC that could be of assistance as well. Send me a message if you need some assistance.

CPT Strickland, please email MAJ JohnPaul LeCedre (He is in the global list). He is the XO for the 450th CA BN and can provide you more details.

Have you checked the Civil Affairs reserve units within commuting distance from your home?

My email is [login to see] if you want to send me an email with MOS, rank and what exactly you are looking for. Zip code for where you will live and how many miles you are willing to travel. I'll get on RCMS and see what I can find. I'll also send an email out to all the UA's I know to see if they have anything or know of anything.

Sir, I must apologize I cannot be of much assistance here, as I no longer jump, I do however engineer and climb cell towers, with a few freinds from the 82nd days, I could definitely line something up for you on the civilian side if it sounds like its in your lane of interest.
Airborne!!!

The 404th CA BN in NJ, sir.

I know a lot of guys in my own unit are trying to transfer solely for their jump status.

If you were a communicator, JCSE at MacDill would be an option. Also there are IMA positions at SOCOM, SOCCENT, SOCSOUTH and others that are on status. If you need contacts there feel free to PM me.

Try the United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Command (Airborne) (USACAPOC(A)) at Fort Bragg, sir. USACAPOC(A) is on airborne status and we jump every month. You could probably re-branch to civil affairs or psyops too.
