Question
My husband is currently in BCT, to graduate in 3 weeks. We have been told to start thinking of what posts to put on our wish list, but to research the posts to make sure that the MOS that he has picked is available at the post he would like to go to. What is the best way to research what posts offer his job??? (13Delta)
Kellie,
I did some poking around and this is what I came up with... I called an Army recruiter and he says that there is some sort of detachment for field artillery at all posts. So what you all have to do is decide where you want to go west cost, east cost Midwest, overseas...etc and identify those bases, then list where you want to go. The only one that I could come up with on line was Fort Sill Oklahoma, but according to the ARMY....they are everywhere...

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
