What does it mean if my orders say I'm assigned to 02 0004 in replacement (WAJF01) Fort Carson, CO?

Just completed OSUT training for 12B. Currently on leave until the 28th. Duty Station is Colorado. My orders say I'm assigned to 02 0004 in replacement (WAJF01) Fort Carson CO 80913...anyone know what that means? Any tips in general?

That is just the replacement company at Carson. You go there to sign in from leave and do some in proccessing before they send you to your actual unit. Carson is higher in elevation so don’t kick yourself if you notice you run slower at first. Enjoy the area.

SGT Tristan Izzard - That's the difference. One the real unit is assigned, then a sponsor should be assigned and in contact.

PVT (Join to see) no way to tell unless you are the G1 strength manager. Strength management is left to installations, especially for 10 level soldiers. As for adjusting to altitude, stay in shape enroute. Replacement will PT you until assigned.

SGT Tristan Izzard she should have a sponsor but IET soldiers are hit or miss. Also, G1 May reassign to manage strength. SM will get a new sponsor on the ground. They were meeting them by mid week of inprocessing at Carson

SGT Tristan Izzard Most of the people I graduated with had sponsors and knew their gaining unit 2 to 3 weeks before graduation, but a few of us didnt. Our DS said it was because our gaining unit just didnt fill out the paperwork.out Out of around 170 of us only 4 of us didnt have our sponsorships done.
