Is there a way for Active Duty to volunteer for deployment? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-there-a-way-for-active-duty-to-volunteer-for-deployment <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m pretty sure there is but, I am very curious on how to do so. I can&#39;t seem to get a straight answer. I&#39;m young and, and motivated. I started my career in Active Duty not to long ago, and would like to earn the experience that comes with a deployment.

I volunteered for deployment and my orders were cut the following day. This was a long time ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Your best bet is to get to a unit that deploys frequently if you want a deployment SFC Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 17 Nov 2020 17:32:06 -0500 2020-11-17T17:32:06-05:00 Response by CWO3 Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 17 at 2020 7:24 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-there-a-way-for-active-duty-to-volunteer-for-deployment?n=6508236&urlhash=6508236 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Let the right folks know and you should have no problem in MT. I kept putting the MCC on Fitness Reports for Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) as a Sgt for years, not knowing the geographics of manning at the time. It was a new deal that led to CentCom. Lot&#39;s of wasted picks. It evened out later, with around 5-6 of last 9 years deployed. Stick around and you&#39;ll get a chance.

You are on a Divisional Post. If another BDE is deploying and short your MOS and grade, they may ask for volunteers or simply cross level at the CSM/G1 level. <br /><br />Be deployale.
