PCSing to Fort Meade to the 704th MI BN. I've tried for weeks to get a sponsor, anyone have unit contact info?

Which unit are you going to? I am surprised you are not going to 902nd.....you should have SGM Crawford hit up the BN CSM of the BN you are going to so you can get a sponsor.

SSG (Join to see) Like CSM Carl Cunningham, I'm a little surprised they're sending a CI Sergeant to the 704th BDE. I did read someone else's post that they were a CI troop at one of the sister sites in Georgia as the SSO. That still doesn't make much sense to me, but if they got those slots approved, then I guess that's what they need. I was assigned to the 704th (742nd BN) as a 97G, went to the Gulf War, then to Korea, and came back as the Battalion CSM for a CI Battalion in the 902nd, also on Ft. Meade, which is two battalions of almost entirely CI Soldiers. That's why it's odd to see a CI troop assigned anywhere on Ft. Meade other than the 902nd.

You'll enjoy it here. There is a lot to do in the area. You're close to Baltimore and D.C. and all their semi-professional sports, like the Redskins, Ravens, Orioles, Wizards, and so on. Concerts all over the place, Sailing, boating, parks, history, great food - we've got it all. OTOH, it's crowded and the cost of living is a little high. The housing on Meade is very good with the new privatized housing program they've been working under. So you'll enjoy it! Stay in touch with me if there's anything you need.

You are probably going to be in the unit's S2 section. If I was a betting man, that would be my bet. I was at the GA subordinate of where you are going and I as the Sr. CI Agent was the Army SSO for the site. It's a great assignment with plenty of opportunity to make connections. Should you need some connections email me on global and I will pass some names to you. These folks are more than willing to help you in your endeavor there. When you have time look me up on global and I can provide you more info.
