Intro follows; After 25 years in the ARNG and no deployments, I had the bright idea to transfer into the IRR. Within 40 days, I got my deployment orders !
I have visited this site several times, but now it may be VERY helpful !
Can't wait to get "trained-up" at Ft. Jackson !!

Welcome, and DO tell us more.
Sounds like what my son did. He was in WIARNG and was concerned about being deployed. So he went to Germany and wangled a transfer to some obscure REMF reserve unit there. Surprise! Guess who got deployed first. hahahahaha
For several years I used to try to give him advice but he always said AW Dad that was thirty years ago it's all different now. The DAY he got deployment orders he called from Germany and said UH Dad..........could I ask you some advice?
Suddenly when the fit hit the shan, I had credibility with my son.

RE; S-1 info & Deployment issues
A little more... 25 + years, all reserve time in the Nat.Guard and USAR. Enlisted 1980 in the Field Artillery, went OCS, spent 18 yrs in the FA, 3 of my best years in the 187th INF BDE as a PL, 1 year in the CBT EN, and 3 yrs at the RTI as a TAC. Got tired of waiting for the politics in the state, so I went USAR-IRR to pick up my O-4. Don't know what "Big Army" has in mind, but one thing's for sure, this will be my last "training event"
Probably a good chance to put all this time in the boots to some use.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat" Theodore Roosevelt
