Support Company inquiry.
I am moving to FL (Jacksonville area) in a year or so. I was wondering if there are any 0-1 positions in the support company, and if so, is getting assigned or requesting this unit the same as any other unit/non SF-affiliated unit, (such as contacting the POC or UA and making arrangements)?
thanks,
Stickey

Stickey,
There are MI, QM and Signal slots in the Support Cos. Your best course of action would be to contact the S-3 first and then chat with their recruiter if there is an opening and it seems like a mutual fit.
FYI, there are also MTOE changes underway that will affect the HHCs, so you might inquire about those as well. A number of new branch options are coming available.
Good luck.

Sir,
Sorry of the lack of detail.
I kept calling and calling, told to call this number then another, then that number said to call a different one, I called all over the state...very arduous but in the end worth it.
Finally got a hold of the right people after 3-4 months of searching, spoke with them, interviewed and I am going that way (Sig).

Support 3/20 info...
Looking to IST from NY to FL area. Looking into the Supp. 3/20 in Starke. Seen a few guys from that unit in March during my AT in Blanding and I was surely interested in that unit. Basically I know there Oscar Mike at the moment. Spoke to the S-1 there on Rear Det. Same thing like Stickey said in his post, got a run around. Well here are my stats, maybe someone can help me out here or point me in the right direction etc.....
SPC/13BU6 - NYARNG, 3-1/2yrs NG time. Interested in getting closer to that SF tab! I figured I can go Support, get myself prepped for the Selection in due time.
Please Advise,
Thanks,
Teddy

Huh? What do you mean "the run around"? I take it they told you something you did not want to hear.
I'm confused.

Well when I contact SPT 3/20th, I was informed they were Oscar Mike. He told me he didn't know what slots are available etc.. And that they would be back later next year. Advised me to call the FL IST Coordinator, Which I did and I was told to call my IST coordinator in NY. Basically the question I have is:
1. What are the qual's or standards for one to get into a SPT CO?
2. What are some of the MOS's I could possible get there?
I have been doing extensive research on SPT CO's, GSC's and BSC's online. Not much info besides the fact they support Groups. Nothing pertaining to what MOS's are in the SPT CO's or what are the standards for one to apply to a unit.

Why not just IST to their NQP unit?
You are aware that 20th SFG(A) is made up of 3 BNs and each BN has a Spt Co? I can only ASSUME that a BSC is a BSC is a BSC.

Roger, I preferably would like to IST to the FL unit. As I lived in FL for 2 years, and I been to Camp. Blanding a few time during my career. I would like to be attached to 3/20th if possible. What would be a NQP unit within the 20th?

Ok i've been doing that NQP search for sometime now....Only thing that comes up for NQP is only showing for soldiers interested in getting TABBED. I cant find anything on SPT CO's and NQP. I've looked at here, multiple other forums, google, SF Support Co pages and still nothing on NQP and BSC's.

Do you want to be SF - on an ODA or do you want to be support? IF you want to go to selection, go be an NQP and get good training, keep progressing, keep a good attitude and go to selection. Otherwise you're going to be a support guy doing support things. As far as I know there are no support NQP's. My time in 20th, NQPs did a lot of PT, land nav, and other events designed to prepare them for selection. The unit will send you when you're ready.
