As far as deployments go, in the reserves they are referred to as "mobilizations" or "mobs" (pronounced 'mobe', like the beginning of mobilization) for short. The reserves don't deploy units like the active duty side does, they deploy individual sailors (unless you're a Seabee; they're kind of special but still different). So for you to deploy, an active duty command would advertise the need for someone of a certain rate/rank/NEC to come to location X to do a certain job. If that interested you, you would contact your chain of command, who would then route that interest up to the mobilization coordinator, who would then make the decision on who goes. As an aircrew reservist the chances of you getting tapped for one unwillingly is highly unlikely. However that doesn't stop you at all from applying to ones that are advertised that interest you. The opportunities also range from your own aircrew type duties to other things like going to help with a military exercise, forward deployed support, or whatever they might need. There are a lot of opportunities that aren't rate restricted. A mob listing will look something like this (totally making this up for an example though; it's not real): INTELLIGENCE ANALYST Rate/Rank: CTT/E4-E6 (will also accept IS or CTR) Location: Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti Training Time: 95 days Boots-on-ground: 275 days Duties: Member will support intelligence tasking in support of AFRICOM and expeditionary operations. Interested parties please submit your request through your chain of command to your regional mobilization coordinators. /r CTT1
