Good evening Marines,
I recently found out which reserve unit I will be assigned to, and checked out their unit website and discovered they will be deploying soon. It wasn't very specific, I believe it said "400 day mobilization" starting in december. I am most likely leaving to boot camp in the next few weeks, and therefore would be done with SOI/ITB in 5-6 months if everything goes well. My question is: would I be allowed to join my unit seeing as they will most likely already be in Afghanistan/Iraq? Or would I be prevented from joining up with them because I did not participate in their pre-deployment training? Also, if I was not allowed to join up with them would I not drill until they return or would I drill with another unit?
Thanks
