Usually open E5 slots are rare. You got PLDC out of the way yet? If you are in a Bn HCC now you should be able to go over and talk to the PSNCO and get a booklet on where the units are around the state, phone numbers/armories, etc. Make a few phone calls and find out which units are under strength and have openings. E4 to E5 is a major jump in the ARNG and you need some luck to find a slot sometimes. Used to be a Tank Bn HQ east of town in Terrell and a Tank Bn HQ in Fort Worth. But that was years ago when I still active. Units change but an IN or AR BN is probably the best choice for an open slot in an HHC Med Plt. Everyone wants the 'easy' units. Nothing is free. Good luck.
I am an old phart, retired O6. I was looking at the current TxARNG website and see that MG Len Smith is the Asst AG for Army down at Camp Mabry. I remember when he was an semi-obnoxious 1LT 24 years ago. Everyone grows up, though.
Aye, there aren't any that I'm aware of in my unit, either.
Haven't been to PLDC (now it's WLC); again, my unit doesn't seem to get slots.
I'm in a line unit, not HHC. I'll see if I can get in touch with the PSNCO anyway.
It's funny, though, the paths we take. Most of my peers from A&M are making O-3.
