Is there anyone who an help me find an SMP slot in Georgia, preferably in the Macon, Warner Robins or Fort Valley area?

Long story short, Just moved here from Texas for graduate school, also doing ROTC. Getting the run around pretty much and need to find a slot soon to get my full refund from school. Paying out of state tuition currently, once I find a unit my school said they will give me the difference if I can provide them with new orders. Local leadership hasn’t been too helpful.

Thanks

Best course of action is to talk to both ROTC recruiting officer along with local USAR recruiter. They usually have access to information online about what slots are available and are considered SMP

SPC Brandy Mincey if the contacts previously provided I’d suggest looking into the University of North Georgia’s military department. They should have some good contacts. Units in your area in the reserve are 431st QM Co in Fort Valley, GA. They’re a rigger unit. The 352nd CSB formerly Maintenance Battalion and the 377th QM Co I believe bulk is still in Dublin, GA. At the old FT Gillem location there’s still the 1015th Maintenance Co. All reserve units. I’m not current enough on GAARNG units to tell you

I really couldn’t imagine any unit not taking a SMP... It does hurt a unit to have a Cadet and SMPs make good coffee getters for the CO.

Contact your states officer strength manager. That’s normally the individual that places SMP cadets in National Guard/Reserve units.

Shoot me an email and I’ll hook you up with an Army Reserve Career Counselor in Georgia.
