Once you join a Military Sourse, Uncle Sam owns you! You will go where ever they send you and you will not have a say so in the matter. I can promise you that alot of our men and women whom are in Iraq now, never wanted to go there.

ROFL, sorry to laugh...but IF YOU WANT TO??? C'mon...if you are joining the Army, i hope that you have kept yourself informed and realize that the job of the Army is to fight in wars. There is a war going on right now, and if you have'nt read or heard on the news about the numbers of troops being sent there, it is not likely that you will have the luxury of deciding if you want to go or not. You will go, there really is no choice in that for a service member. If you don't want to go, then the best thing for you is not to join.

Your wants won't amount to a hill of beans. A friend of the family is in Afghanistan. A relative is in Kosovo. Another is in Germany. So, no... you may be stationed else where.... but Iraq is a very strong possibility because the President is sending an additional 28,000 troops.

If you are sent to a unit that is deploying, you are not given the choice.
Keep in mind, however, is that not every unit will go to Iraq, and there are some units (called TDA units) who do not have overseas missions at all.
But, I think that the chance is greater than lesser you will be sent to a unit that has the possibility of deploying.

Once you are in the military, they get to choose where you are sent to for the duration of your enlistment time.
With the current events in that part of the world, and the fact that many enlisted men and women are being held over longer or sent back for another tour of duty; that will most likely be your first duty assignment.
Best if luck to you in your military career.

What makes you think that you will have a choice? The military will send you wherever you are needed. You won't necessarily be sent to Iraq, but it is likely.

Depends on where the Army decides to send you.

you do not get the choice if you want to go or not. it's not up to you. when you join the army if they say you have to go then you have to go. so if you join and they say your going to Iraq then i guess you will be going.

You have to go if they tell you!! You can be deported anywhere! But I'm pretty sure you'll be shipped to Iraq since we need to finish the war! It depends if they are looking for more troops.
