SPC (P) Kenneth Jones, don't worry. Stay in long enough and it will happen. Probably to the point were you will get tired of it!

43% of 23 active duty years. 2x Germany, Belgium, Korea and OEF. Definitely enjoyed the European time. And surprisingly, all of those just happened without hunting for them. I even wanted to avoid Korea, I had been married 3 months when I received those orders.
