For approved stabilizations, YMAV will be adjust to re-align the Soldier to the correct movement cycle and market. The Jewish Institute for National Security of America recommends that the honoree should come from the junior ranks — officer O4 and below, or enlisted E8 and below.
The individual you identify to represent the United States Army USA should have distinguished himself or herself by exceptional service in the performance of duties that contribute to our national security. USACC plans to open up to 10 more locations annually. Hot openings listed at the following link. Location: Arifjan, Kuwait. Location: Qatar. Lead the development of crisis action, intermediate and long range plans. Interact with all elements of the TF maneuver, fires, intelligence, logistics and able to take their inputs to develop future concepts of operations and supporting orders.
I understand as a Soldier I joined an organization where a mission needs to be done, and we have an obligation to fill those needs. I also want to embrace the paradigm that the Army does care about me and my family, as I tell it to my Soldiers all the time. I just find it hard to believe that during a period of two wars, several of my peers were able to stay in places like Spain and Germany and not have to ever walk the streets in Kandahar or drive the roads in Iraq and achieve the same tour equity that others of us have had.
My last assignment manager was the best yet. She would send emails to the field on an almost monthly basis, reply to emails or tell you via auto reply that she would get back to you within a certain time span and actually reply , and most importantly, would answer the phone when I called.
How is it executed? I lost contact with that individual, but 4 years later where did they end up? This is a good start to open the discussion, but there are still great deal of unknowns that exist. It might be a good experience for everyone. What does the branch manager look at when deciding who to place where?
It seems sometimes there is no rhyme or reason. Call your assignment officer and ask that question. There is enough latitude at HRC for your assignment officer to shed light on the process. Speaking from my perspective, there is a very deliberate, methodical process to assigning who goes where.
I take it as a personal responsibility, not just a duty. I can tell you that in a shrinking Army, officer preference is decreasing in importance. The problem is the other myth, the one that I am my own best career manager. I have heard this countless times. So what happens when I try to take my career into my own hands and go to SMU selection? On one occasion, I was denied a release by branch to go to selection.
A year later, when I was still in my window, I re-applied and was permitted to go to selection. I passed. I was selected. They told me there was a problem with my basic branch and I contacted them. Where did they send me? Okay, fine, but this is even more objective for Captains and Majors, the majority of which have held the same jobs. The rest are Lieutenant OERs, which again, are extremely objective based on the person looking at them and writing them.
The branch managers are not the problem with HRC. The problem is that as the Officer have very little influence over any of their assignments regardless of their performance. HRC needs to adopt some of the hr policies used by Google where employees can apply for the positions they want and the hr managers are only there to advise and coach. Instead HRC forces the branch managers to slot all the officers in an arbitrary manning cycle forcing them to treat people like equipment. Too many Soldiers get hurt by this zero flexibility system.
I just wanted to do a quick snapshot of my dealings with my assignment officers. I was nearing completion of flight school and my first assignment was ready to happen. AOs came down to Fort Rucker. Here goes the conversation:. The only difference between him and me is he is married and I am single? The rest of my career looked the exact same way. The first assignment I completely controlled was when I left the Army. Here goes tthe conversation:. I appreciate you taking the time to inform and clarify.
I thought this was a really interesting read, especially when I myself had believed some of these myths. The only comment I disagree with is that not all LTs a. I can only speak for Infantry Branch without researching more. Thanks for the comment! These are the future senior leaders within my branch. Thanks, Brian! On your second comment, you nailed it.
BNRs generally work against that, particularly the ones that are out of cycle. No exceptionally sweet, undeserving assignments there.
My contention is that HRC branch managers in assignments controlled by their branch are more likely to get their choice of assignment than those not assigned to HRC. If it is true that assignment officers get no better choice of assignments than others, show the data over time. Be honest…. Thanks Doc, the real takeaway from my comment is that most AOs in my sphere of influence go to assignments that are, as you said, not controlled by Branch.
So, arguing that we get sweet assignments may not be statistically significant. Sounds like you have detailed experience to the contrary, though. Does it arise from fact or rumor? And speak accordingly.
Soldiers are not volunteering for these duties. Access is available thru the U. Once you access the U.
