What I&#39;m looking for is what unit will I be most likely going to and what can I expect for my duty within that unit?

There mission is to train and deploy reserve/national guard units. They have 12 task forces I believe cant remember off the top of my head. But basically if your not working in operations you will be tasked with OCT type of job. It is actually a pretty good job depending on the rotations. McGregor range is in new mexico and that&#39;s where a lot of time will be spent.

Basic and then as a sp/5, that is where I made SSG before being sent to south Korea in 1970. I loved el paso. But later in life when as a cw3 in ansbach Germany my group commander Donald infante called me and asked me to go back with him to bliss again. He commanded bliss as a two star. I declined. I called my assignment officer and told him I have 16 years of service send me anywhere that does not begin with F. So he sent me to Cameron station usarec.
