I was wondering if it where possible to get a tour as armor for Iraq in the NG if I was a reservist? I am trying to go, but it's damn near impossible to get orders for Iraq. I need to come back to finish school though so active duty is out.
PA NATIONAL GUARD IS GOING, GET A LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE FROM THEM AND A LETTER OF RELEASE FROM YOUR COMMAND. THEY HAVE BOTH INFANTRY AND ARMOR. (ARMOR IS MOBILE GUN SYSTEM)

I'm biting my tongue.
NG Armor mission in Iraq is tough to find. Most armor units don't even take all their tanks and most armor units there these days spend alot of time as "checkpoints". After 15 years as a tanker I was given a M1117 ASV instead in Iraq.
Check with Washington and Oregon NG too, but my guess is all the 19K tank crew slots will be filled way in advance. Everybody wants to tank.
