As I gear up for WOCS, my first week of WOBC I will be putting my wish list for what assignments I want to request. Talking to recent WO1s, they were able to get their first choice.

Looking at FMS web I am interested in Fort Bragg 255NP and 255NO. I am jump qualified but also I want to know anyone who has submitted an application for 75th Ranger BAT?

I'm at an ABCT and love it. Just have to wait till deployment for experience with exterior protocols.

Sometime near the beginning of WOBC, our assignment manager, CW3 Walner, will send out a list of possible assignments. Just keep in mind that not all possible assignments are on that list. For instance, there were 3 Korea assignments listed, but 8 of our 19 ended up with Korea. Germany, Sam Houston, and 112 were also on the list but nobody got them. I even ended up with an assignment that wasn't on the list. As for Ranger, that's something you'll have to work through Reba. One of the guys in my class is going to 2/75, but he has spent his entire career with regiment.

I am a WO with the Army Reserves and do not have anything to add. I completed WOCS last year; it was an experience. Good luck to you Candidate.
