So I’m currently serving in the Army Reserve as an MP and getting ready to go on deployment within the next 3 weeks in which I extended to go on the deployment . I’m looking into once I return from deployment going active duty and reclassing to 11B with Airborne. I also want to go Drill Sergeant. I’m not sure if I earned Drill Sergeant if I would be sent to Fort Benning or Fort Leonardwood. Any tips would be appreciated .

You are putting the cart before the horse if you are looking at doing both simultaneously. If you reclass to a new job field you will need to spend some time
in that field to gain profiency. Once you do that go ahead and hit the Drill Field but thinking you can lat move and go immediately into the drill field and be good at your job isn’t realistic.

Simple, once you return from your deployment, contact a local recruiter. If the MOS is available (needs of the Army have always first) then you’re good to go. If not, sign for whatever is offered or wait until 11B is available, your choice. Now, the DS part, you need to at least be a SGT/E5 to volunteer.

Actually E-4 promotable to transfer to a DS unit and they can prepare you to go to the school and hit the trail as an option you could go 11B NG transfer to a DS unit and go from there. Also you might get bumped back down to SPC go Active from Reserves I have heard of a few people having that problem.

I am a retired Airborne Light infantryman Joe, In order to get into the reserves you had to go to basic training as well to the MP school. I can tell you that the 11B field is always wide open due to the constant need of infantrymen not only in the army but the Marine Corps as well. One thing that you have to do, is be released from the reserve status before the army or any other branch of service can process you into active duty status!!. SFC Chuck Martinez retired!
