Why do I have a new assignment projection to Fort Drum on my ERB when I literally just started in-processing here at Fort Hood?

Just PCS'd moving the family from Germany with orders to Fort Hood. Just arrived and received the rest of our Household Goods. We got a nice place off base, daughter just started back up in school. Glanced at my ERB and it shows a new projection for Fort Drum. I just sent my branch manager an email about this. Anybody else have any insight into this. Is it probably just a ''glitch?" Plus, I'm like the only NCO here at the replacement battalion here on Hood that doesn't have a pin point assignment, just says "2ABCT.'' I'm losing my mind.

SFC (Join to see) - Lol, 2BCT was the first unit I was assigned to, then 3-14 Inf Bn after they returned from Somalia, then 10th Signal Bn after I got promoted to 1SG. 3-14 and 10th Sig BNs no longer exist as they were redesignated after I left. Only 2BCT still exists.

Aa far as 2ABCT goes, I'm pretty sure that you're going to 1st Cav. Have fun with that one.
The projection though. I doubt that it is a glitch, but it can't be ruled out. More than likely, branch has probably just started to plan a little ways out. Intelligence isn't a huge community in the Army and I imagine it is far easier to plan into the future for your MOS than it is for say infantry. This would probably most definitely be the case depending on where you stand in regards to making SFC. If you are a shoe in to get a sequence number, or perhaps have one and are just waiting for that lucky day, there may be plans for an E7 slot. Again, I can only make semi informed guesses.
As the MSG previously advised, in order to get yourself a no bs warm and fuzzy feeling about it, you should call up your branch and get a straight forward answer.
Enjoy Ft Hood. I was there for about 4.5 years with 3d ACR. Do the idiots at the gate still say "Welcome to the Great Place"?

Thanks for your input. Hood has exceeded my expectations so fat, just wanna know wtf is going on. I get this run around at every assignment. I'm fine with 1CAV, and yup, they say that at the gate.

I had so much fun at Ft Hood. I was in 62 ESB. Didn't care for the unit but loved living on post.

Happens all the time to officers and warrant officers. Were you originally scheduled to go to Drum and got orders to Hood? Usually it is a SNAFU and with the new AIMS2 program, I have inbound officers who are pinpointed to a company level that are going to a different battalion. The Army keeps changing the systems and well, the ORB and ERB (SRB) are fed by other programs and systems, something is reporting incorrectly, call your AO at HRC.
