I am currently on assignment from a TOE unit to Fort Hood, where my gaining unit is another TOE unit. Branch is currently saying there is no available TDA positions available. How much of an impact will this have on short and long term career progression for 68W?

The majority of the force are in MTOE slots...being successful at these positions won't hurt career progression.

Have you considered applying for Instructor Duty?

Have you read through the CMF's NCOPD Guide?

SGT(P) (Join to see) Sorry I'm late coming to the party for you. I hope things are working out well for you. If after 18-24 months in the same unit you want to see about moving, let me know. I can point you to the right people at III Corps G1 and Surgeon Office to help facilitate an intra-post transfer.

<p>SGT Tiner, </p><p><br></p><p>I understand your question as it affects my AMEDD Branch as well (MSC - 70B).&nbsp; It is critical to gain both MTOE Medical experience and TDA (Hospital/clinic) experience. This will open doors for you as you progress and develop your clinical skills.&nbsp; I am sure that you are getting tired of doing sickcall and range support as a combat medic. I would get to you new unit and then express to your company 1SG and BN CSM that you desire a TDA position for career broadening. Your BN CSM can call the division surgeon's office and speak with the division surgeon's SGM. He/she can see across the division and place medical NCOs into TDA slots across the command. Always seek the assistance of your brigade and division surgeons office. They have the ability to move nearly all medical Soldiers across organizations. Hope this helps. </p>
