Looking for an Army Reserve position as a CPT in the Airborne Community on the East Coast. Any suggestions?

My contract in Saudi is ending over the summer and I have a few positions through USAjobs which look promising. A couple are not MilTech positions so when I come out of the IRR I'd be free to find my own Reserve job and would love to find another position on jump status OR at least working within the Airborne Community. The non-miltech positions are potentially at Fort Lee so Bragg is not out of commuting range. Can anyone make any other suggestions? For the record, I'm KD qualified through BN staff level.

USACAPOC at Bragg would certainly be a fit. I know a couple of LTCs that work there if you need a contact. I also know people in USARC that could be of assistance as well. Send me a message if you need some assistance.

18th Airborne Corp is standing up a new multi compo unit at Bragg. They have a bunch of Reserve positions looking to be filled.

SGM (Join to see) That's good news, SGM. Just waiting on word on the civilian job. Gotta pay the bills before I can "live the dream", right?

SGM (Join to see) That is true, but there is still an issue with the required number of MUTAs proposed for the 18th Airborne and similar units that are creating RC slots. MAJ (Join to see) This would be a case of knowing what you're getting into before agreeing to the terms.

LTC Hillary Luton Absolutely, ma'am. With that caveat, though, I'm in a unique situation, career-wise. A position with the 18th Airborne Corps, even with limited MUTAs, would be a good way to close out my time in uniform. I'll definitely be asking questions. On that note, a position working with the aerial delivery guys at USARC would be cool, too. Thanks for your time, ma'am.

404th CA BN in Ft Dix, NJ or 450th CA BN in Riverdale, MD are your best bets, sir. Both are always on the lookout for Captains.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

1SG (Join to see) Much appreciated, 1SG. Fort Dix is actually one of the miltech positions I'm hoping for so I'd have the USAR slot covered there. It looks like a 2 hour ride to Riverdale MD so that wouldn't be a bad commute for BA. Thanks for the input.

Yes sir, no problem. I don't know anybody in the 450th, but the 404th is in my CACOM and I have interacted with them quite a bit.

Sir, I must apologize I cannot be of much assistance here, as I no longer jump, I do however engineer and climb cell towers, with a few freinds from the 82nd days, I could definitely line something up for you on the civilian side if it sounds like its in your lane of interest.
