100.0. "11B & PA NG/AR" by KYOA::SCHWARTZR () Tue Apr 24 1990 00:15

    
    
    If you live in the New Jersey/Pennsylvania area you've
    probably read about the reductions in the NJ Army
    National Guard. As usual, I've been getting more info
    from the local newspapers than "higher HQ". If anyone
    is currently serving in a Guard or Reserve unit in the
    Philadelphia area, that has 11B (INFANTRY) opennings,
    I might have some recruits for you.
    
    If the newspapers are correct, my Infantry troops will
    have the option of trading their crossed rifles in for
    transportation brass. Most of them would rather leave the
    military. The soldiers are all 11B, attached to a MECHANIZED
    INFANTRY COMPANY (M113's), and go from E3 (PFC's) on up
    to this 03 (CPT). The main interest of the E6's and below
    is the 11B cash bonus.
    
    If anyone has any info on near-by units, either reply here
    or send mail to

    Any openings in the USAR? They've got some grunt units too I think
    but maybe you've already checked them out.....

100.2157th BdeMPGS::MCCLUREWhy Me???Tue Apr 24 1990 17:246
    If they haven't moved, I believe that the 157th Inf Bde (Sep)
    (Mech) is based in the Pa area. They are USAR. The only ref-
    I have, says that the 68th Armored is HQd at Ft Indiantown
    Gap. This is an old ref and may have changed.

100.3Try 78th DIV (TNG)CHIRPA::DENNINGTue Apr 24 1990 21:5013
    I suggest that anyone in the rank Specialist to Sergeant First
    Class/Platoon Sergeant contact the 78th Division (TNG) Headquarted at
    Ft. Dix, New Jersey. There are many units in that area authorized
    CMF 11 slots. Once joining the unit they must attend the Drill Sergeant
    School and get the "X" qualifier if they don't possess it now.
    
    There is also the 4074th Reception Battalion in Philidelpha. They are
    some MOS immaterial slots.
    
    There is also a special re-enlistment bonus for CMF 11 Drill Sergeants.

100.4thanksKYOA::SCHWARTZRThu Apr 26 1990 23:4522
    ref all replies, thanks for your time and interest.
    
    @ the 78 MTC at Dix, I've been informed that they are
    being consoladated with the 76th and currently are in 
    a "holding" position until the final changes are made.
    (same story as the NJARNG, except I would enlist my
    grandmother if she was alive)
    
    @ the FIG unit, that's a little too far for my enlisted
    troops to travel (> 2 hours one-way ?), but thanks.
    
    @ the 4074th, ??? I'll check into that.
    
    Oh yes, about that comment about my grandmother. In her 
    day she was probably in better shape than some of my 18
    year old troops. She painted her own house every 2 years and walked
    2 miles to church every day until she turned 82. At 83 she got hit
    by a car, stopped painting the house, and only walked to church on
    Fridays, (she had a ride on Sundays). But she still cut her own
    lawn (push not power mower).

100.5contact HQ 78th not 78th MTCCHIRPA::DENNINGWed May 02 1990 01:5613
    I recommend that you contact the Office of Retention at 78th Division
    not the MTC. The MTC is the Maneuver Training Command (aka the
    pasture).
    
    I guarentee that  all line units, the ones authorized Drill Sergeants,
    will take 11Bs. They are crazy not to. All qualified Drill Sergeants
    will still have jobs even after the merge. I have be assured of this by
    many people in high places.
    
    I will try and get you a list of available 11B slots in the area from
    the SMO computer.

100.6These units have openingsCHIRPA::DENNINGThu May 03 1990 18:2620
    The following units are all authorized 11B3X slots with vacancies.
    I am sure they won't turn down 11B qualified Specialists thru Sergeants 
    First Class if are willing to attend Drill Sergeant School.
