So my question is: I'm National Guard, I'm still in AIT, but when I get out and get to my unit back home, what are the odds of me deploying at any time during my six year contract? I'm a 25U by the way.

Well you very well might not deploy but I would keep training Every DAY and Keep YOURSELF IN TOP SHAPE. I TRAINED EVERYDAY AS IF I WAS GOING TO WAR WELL I NEVER WENT TO WAR BUT I KNEW THAT I MIGHT BE CALLED UPTON TO SERVE IN A COMBAT ROLE AND I WAS ACTIVE DUTY FOR 16.5 years and I look at I WAS READY AT ALL TIMES. SO DRIVE ON AND KEEP IN SHAPE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW UNTIL IT COMES SO GOOD LUCK.

The only reason in asking is because I'm a little scared to deploy because I don't feel I'm fit enough to fight, First Sergeant.

Not to belittle your concern, but get fit to fight, why else are you in this mans army? You are in the perfect place to get ready. All soldiers are infantry first mos second. Get your mind right and get fit to fight troop. You can do itSPC Jordan Brown -

Depending on what unit you join and where they are at in the ARFORGEN cycle will determine the likelihood of deploying. Of course, demand could arise depending on your MOS which could push or bump you off of the bubble.
