I just signed a 3yr contract with Active Army, as prior service NG soldier who served 6 years. I have no idea what to expect showing up to my first duty station, and what the inprocessing entails. I’m already 12B qualified and will fill that MOS position in Fort Hood, TX. Anyone whose gone through this transition in the last couple years would be a huge help!

SPC(P) Angelia Legler just come in with a " POSTIVE CAN-DO ATTITUDE" stay away from the negative (nay-sayers--this unit sucks) and listen/follow positive leadership! It will be alright.

Good advice Joe. I would add plan to treat this as the most important job you've ever had and the next one will be even better

Go to your duty station unit, do the paper work, and show that your there to do the duties assigned to you.

Ask if you get a sponsor to show you around. You will go to an in process unit to settle things like travel and get your gear. I don't know if entails one or two weeks.
