Train Up and ADMIN are factored into those time lines.Response by SFC John Hill made May 25 at 2016 10:42 PM2016-05-25T22:42:40-04:002016-05-25T22:42:40-04:00MAJ Private RallyPoint Member1562780<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I know a guard unit currently down range. The Soldiers were given about 6 months lead time, but only a couple months documented for employers. They left home station in June for a few months training at Hood an they are due to be over for about a year and then another month in Hood before returning to home of record. Total of 16-18 months gone.<br />Type of unit and mission very, so there is no set time line until the unit is given orders.Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made May 26 at 2016 12:57 AM2016-05-26T00:57:49-04:002016-05-26T00:57:49-04:00Sgt Private RallyPoint Member1563422<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>thanks everyone, seems like a fluid targetResponse by Sgt Private RallyPoint Member made May 26 at 2016 9:10 AM2016-05-26T09:10:30-04:002016-05-26T09:10:30-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member1568431<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I usually know close to two years out. 45 days to 2 months at the MOB site and then 9 months in country.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made May 27 at 2016 1:55 PM2016-05-27T13:55:15-04:002016-05-27T13:55:15-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member1569553<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My first deployment was 6 months notice but no mission info till the night we left NJ. My second deployment was 5 days prior to deployment with the VA guard. It really depends on a lot of variables. The such short notice time for the second deployment was due to the primary unit not meeting strength requirements so they scratched the unit and sent us. But from what I'm told that is a very rare occurrence.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made May 27 at 2016 8:45 PM2016-05-27T20:45:39-04:002016-05-27T20:45:39-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member1570652<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Started training in June deployed in SeptemberResponse by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made May 28 at 2016 10:31 AM2016-05-28T10:31:57-04:002016-05-28T10:31:57-04:002016-05-25T17:40:29-04:00
