We face an XCTC this summer and a rotation at NTC the next. Our section is understrength. I have an opportunity to transfer to a unit that will deploy, and I would be taking the Senior Cook position supervising a number of cooks. I feel it would greatly benefit my career as the nature of the deployment requires Field feeding. That real time experience is rare. I question the ethics of the decision. I have great opportunity where I am with XCTC and NTC, I have great opportunity there with deployment. Do I leave an understrength unit or not? Also I have been in this for my entire career so far.

Sometimes you gotta look out for #1 as well, and your "disloyal" (big quotes, sarcastic) option benefits the Army almost more than your XCTC/NCTC option. In the grand scheme of things, you are doing the Army a favor by taking the deployment. So it works to your advantage as well ... double bonus!<br /><br />Also, remember that nobody is irreplaceable. By moving you might be giving someone else an opportunity to move up in their career.<br /><br />I guess you know what I'd recommend ...
