Fort detrick is a reserve component training station so you'll be doing something with the Reserve component.

There's a a good deal on the major units on here, I usually find these sites pretty useful to learn about basic organization at a given place....

I realize what was was said here that it's a Reserve training station, however, given that you.mentioned MOS 25B, which I gather is info mgmt, and, given that the whole place has a considerable medical orientation, I might not be entirely surprised if you might be assigned to some aspect of that involved in clinical research stuff there...obviously, that's purely a guess, of course, however, I just figured I'd mention it, on the off chance I might actually be right at all, I realize you might not be able to say yea or nay, certainly, however, is be most curious for anything you could say, possikbly, eventually, as to whether I was at all close to the mark or not, however, if you cant, certainly, is entirely understand, obviously, of course...I also gather from your description that you're an interest transfer from USMC, or had gotten out of USMC, then back in as Army, I couldn't quite discern which, I'm afraid...it's nothing important, of course, I'd merely wondered which it was, if you might also be able to say, sometimes, I can't quite tell which of those two possibilities "reclassed" refers to, I was assuming it's be one or the other, as I'd said...hope the other info was at least.of some possible use as well....

I grew up in Frederick and most of the people I met that are 25 series there support operations of the joint chiefs, the president, sec def, pretty much any high level assest in the area or air. That might be it, but that’s just a guess based on other people’s past experience.

If you have any questions about the area itself I can answer that for sure.

Most of the time 25B get assigned to Management positions, Brigade/Division areas depending on your rank and where you will fit in the MTOE but I worked mainly admin, since you recently reclassified I'm not sure, they'll probably see what you are best at and go from there. I was 25B so if you have any questions please feel free to message me on here.
