Will I rejoin my unit after AIT if they deploy a few months before I graduate? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/will-i-rejoin-my-unit-after-ait-if-they-deploy-a-few-months-before-i-graduate <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am currently in the National Guard RSP program. I ship for AIT in June and will graduate in August. The unit that I am attached to after RSP is being deployed to Afghanistan in June before I ship for AIT. I&#39;ve been told that I will join them in Afghanistan after I finished AIT. Is this true? I am really wanting to be deployed and am afraid that I will miss my chance while I&#39;m gone at AIT.

The fact that you want to deploy means it is even more important for you to complete training on time and remain healthy. Train up as much as you can and strengthen your body so that you don’t end up getting recycled. Best of luck.

I have seen this play out different ways. If your unit has a need for you then they might call you up and deploy you. Some units are allowed to go 100% in manpower. They do this to cover any openings. So if they mobilize with 110% and lose a few along the way they still may have near 100% and not request for anyone to deploy. But it is up to the unit.

It also depends on how long the deployment is and where you’re going (depends on the mission set). Keep an open mind and do well in AIT. If you need any help or have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Good luck. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 24 Dec 2017 17:45:35 -0500 2017-12-24T17:45:35-05:00 Response by SGT Nelson Cox made Aug 23 at 2018 2:55 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/will-i-rejoin-my-unit-after-ait-if-they-deploy-a-few-months-before-i-graduate?n=3904401&urlhash=3904401 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Use your chain of command to get this info.
