Will the army still send me on a deployment knowing that my school date falls in the middle of the rotation?

I just want to know what is more likely to happen. Will I be deployed for half the rotation then be sent to school or will I be held back from the deployment to make my school date? Or will I just have to wait until I get back from my rotation? I am not getting answers from my unit so who else could I get answers from?

How about you you STFU, deploy, pull your damn weight and stop asking stupid questions looking for a way out.

What school? Most likely yup. You deploying. Thats part of the game. NCOES they probably will just put in a deferment for you. A civilian school? Oh yeah thats a wrap, they not sending you back for a non military school. Just from my expierence.

I had a buddy that got into wocs. His class date was six weeks after torch party left. He was told no deployment for he had school. I ran into him three weeks later in tikrit. He said he was told to deploy. He deployed, for three days. I drove him to the airfield to go back to Germany, to go to wocs. Got to love the army sometimes

It costs the unit nothing to return you to your duty station.
Unless your assigned to the ONLY Army unit in history that is so over strength in every MOS, Id bet you can be an asset to the commander in country.
I would hope that Professionalism, selfless service and other expected traits would lead you to WANT to deploy with your unit for as long as possible prior to going to school>
Three phases of deployment going in and getting established, maintaining transition to new unit.. The set up with all the unknowns, the learning cure is the most resource intensive... Unless your really bad at your job, unreliable, and basically a worthless SM, your help is needed in country.
Consider what you need in time back home before school, go to the Cofc with a plan, how you can go and help, but get back in time for school.

In the end, it will be up to the Soldier’s chain of command, but the question is a reasonable inquiry.
