Okay so were sticking around in Afghanistan for two more years and this means the mission is changing from Kandahar back to Kabul. I just recieved a message at my unit that CEFCOM is looking for 5 MCPL/MS (can be over ranked to PO2/SGT) to be "Theatre Activation Team Advisors" in Kabul. The positions are for any NCM trade and no previous experience or training is required. They will train you for the role. And by looking at the dates without giving them out. Training would take no more than 3 months. The deployment itself is only four months.
So heres my shot in the dark to the forums. What exactly would a theatre activation team advisor do? Who would I be advising. Has anyone done it before in a previous mission or theatre such as Kosovo, Bosnia, Kabul in 2002 or Kandahar 2005/06. From what I gather its to help stand up the mission and get it off the ground. Maybe a paper pushing job of some sort. The tasker people I talked to today said they had no descriptive info on the position yet. So I thought I would try here. Thanks
