Hello everyone! Im wanting to get on an overseas deployment and was hoping to get some help on where to go. Now I'm obviously not asking for exact units of anything because obviously OSPEC but nobody in my chain of command wants to look into it for me and I've tried MOBCOP and haven't had any responses. If anyone knows anything that'd help me find something it'd be greatly appreciated!

Go to the Tour Of Duty web page. https://mobcop.army.mil It lists the vacancies that are needed to be filled. But you still have to get your unit to release you. I think what most these posts miss is the fact that most deployments today are contingency not combat. They are also good money for people that need it. But it can be shit duty.

1.) Don't try talking to anyone on here about "wanting to deploy" when you are a guardsman. Nothing against you people, but you KNEW from the getgo that you weren't the first people to go boots on ground. You want a deployment, go active duty first. 2.) You are in Quartermaster. I don't know what your fellow supply brethren have told you but you aren't exactly SF. Your job is EXACTLY the same whether you are deployed or stateside. If you wanna be full of piss and vinegar, fine; far be it for me to care but if you want to go fight the enemy you should really pick an MOS that would have put you at the top of that list. 3.) DEPLOYMENTS ARE NOT FUCKING POKEMON CARDS! You don't get any form of enjoyment from collecting a bunch of them and no one in their right mind is going to tell you any different. Grow the hell up.

Everyone wants to be a gunfighter...until they end up in a gunfight.
That said, the above advice from SGT Joseph Gunderson actually isn’t bad advice. When the opportunities arise, go active and reclass. The odds of deploying are probably quite a bit better after that.

deployments suck - there is absolutely nothing glorifying in deploying - even if all you do is stay on some fob like Kandahar, Spiecher, or Anaconda (not sure if the last two exist anymore) the fact of the matter is, it sucks. The patch, ERB blurb, or NOCER is losing the power of separating from peers. Do your job to the best of your ability and thank the Stars that you can go home to your family, I know too many that no longer can.
