How soon do Army Crypto Linguists get deployed after AIT, where do they usually go

[RaeGe]

and how often? my boyfriend recently graduated from BCT at fort jackson, sc and is going to be in california for his AIT to become a crypto linguist. i know he will be there for at least 1 year or more for school but what should i expect after he graduates AIT?

And after DLI in California he will got to Texas to learn his actual job. So he is looking at at least another 14-18 months before he is stationed in a unit.

He will deploy when and if his unit deploys. We don't deploy MOS or individuals. We deploy units.

Edit:

Semantics Arch...14-18 months including DLI

And a deploying "element" has a UIC...which makes it a unit. Be it MI section, an Infantry platoon doing VIP security, or a 3 man Logistics element, etc
