What does it mean if my orders say I'm assigned to 02 0004 in replacement (WAJF01) Fort Carson, CO?

Just completed OSUT training for 12B. Currently on leave until the 28th. Duty Station is Colorado. My orders say I'm assigned to 02 0004 in replacement (WAJF01) Fort Carson CO 80913...anyone know what that means? Any tips in general?

That is just the replacement company at Carson. You go there to sign in from leave and do some in proccessing before they send you to your actual unit. Carson is higher in elevation so don’t kick yourself if you notice you run slower at first. Enjoy the area.

So you have to be assigned to the replacement company before you get your specific orders. Sometimes you get them right away (I had my BN on my orders out of AIT) sometimes you find out when you go to replacement.

I'm pretty sure that as a 12B you'll be going to 4th Engineer Battalion. I dont think 52nd has Bravos.

Outstanding! Welcome to being a 12B. Loved every picket-pounding minute of it!
(That's a lie, the picket-pounding sucked.)

Anyone who has MOS 12B. Plus if you are mechanized. If you for get to put on your ear plugs, or your ears get plug up, while on the rifle range, handgrenade range, or just ears hurt for any reason. Go on sick call. Get a copy of all med records for your self. Yes you to drill sergeant. You will never get VA compensation disability benefits without showing you had hearing problems to include tinnitus. While in the service. Does not matter what service you enlisted for. Lowest rating starts 10%. In 74 now, & VA said I must show I went to a military dr. For hearing problems. In currently at 60% now.So they won't give any higher rating or add tinnitus because I have no medical records for 20 service. I was Army 1966-1986. Retired. Vietnam 12 B, 66-67, Drill Sergeant 6yrs, 12B basic & OSHIT. Then Army Recruiter 78-82 max, fl. Then Army Guidance Counselor MEPS 84-86. Never went on sickcall. Because I had to go to the dispensary with trainees. I went to a civilian dr. Keep your records. No matter how small.
