However, I was a 33W back when we did UAS/UAV repair on RQ-7b. SGT(P) (Join to see) I want to start off saying, I've never been a 15E. I don't know if any of this rambling is helpful, but it's what I have. And deployments, we did 12 hours a day for 14 straight days then had 1 day off, only 1 person off per day from each shift. Down time does suck but when you have work it's fun. There is, Fort Drum, Fort Irwin, Fort Riley, Fort Carson, Fort Bragg, Fort Stewart, Fort Hood, Korea, you can also go 160th. I only know of a few of the available duty stations you could go to. You will have times where you hate it and the people around you but the people I've met so far in the Grey Eagle community are some of the coolest, and it's a very tight nit group. If you get the qualifications you need while you're in, you can go to work for any of the contracted companies that work with the Grey Eagle, and you'll likely make a pretty penny from it too. It's a great job with plenty of opportunities after you get out. It is one of the most deployed assets in the Army, so you'll definitely get your deployment stripes. If you like getting your hands dirty and working hard and learning new things there is plenty of all of that in this mos. So far since being back in the States we haven't done much with our aircraft but we're still getting our equipment in and set up. You'll be very busy on deployments, and depending on where you get stationed and how the weather is there, you will have busy times and slow times.

I learned more over there than I did in the 10 months in AIT.

After getting to Fort Drum, I spent 3 months getting ready to catch up with my unit in Kuwait and Iraq, I spent 6 months over seas with them.

I've been in for 2 years now and the first year was spent in training, I had to go through shadow and Grey Eagle training. I'm a 15E currently stationed at Fort Drum, New York.
