How should I go about dropping an SFAB packet after being DA select for Drill Sergeant? Would it override my drill orders?

Let me start by saying that had plans to going SFAB to begin with before receiving my DA select drill orders this past Friday. I was planning on dropping an SFAB packet and was told it would override my drill orders. 1. is this true 2. am I bad for thinking this. I respect drill sergeants completely but with SFAB I would be able to get a deployment which is something I'm lacking. Thanks

SFAB is the Army's highest priority right now, higher than drill. You still have to attend the selection and be selected to come off of drill. Which means, if your drill school date is before the next selection and you messed around getting your request signed, then you may have missed your shot.

There is a very lengthy training program in many environments before you would be deployable. It is not like you get assigned and off you go. Make sure you are doing your homework for either decision.

CSM, it depends on which brigade he’s assigned to and their deployment cycle. We had people show up a couple weeks before our deployment.

I was on drill orders as well prior to SFAB assessment, I didn’t realize it until after the fact though.
Like others have said, SFAB is the Army's top priority right now.
