Maybe you should rethink joining, given our Nation's current situation and the level our forces are deployed you can almost be guaranteed to be away from home for quite a bit.

This isn't exactly a true statement. You
CAN still get a duty station of choice, while they will push for you to go to the new brigades that need joes. However, you can still pick a duty assignment.
Just make sure you get what you want in your contract and you'll be good to go. If it's not in your contract you only have yourself to blame.
RIP, Airborne, etc. If you get it in your contract and you don't fulfill your end of the bargain guess what? Needs of the Army...
