No, a FAO who CFDs with FAO will only go to a FAO position or a branch-immaterial position that the FAO Assignment Branch has been assigned to fill. There is no fixed arrangement yet for how FAO positions will expand, but we are already seeing some growth in FAO assignments with the rebranching of '54'-type positions. This means that there will be new and unanticipated opportunities for FAOs to serve. We don't have any other information on this front yet, but we will push the information forward as we learn more about the changing environment of available FAO positions. The answer to this question lies in two key areas of your life.
Officers do best what they want to do most.
For example, if you are a trained FAO and are married, odds are that your spouse has supported you both through company command and through in-country training. These assignments are a good measuring stick for your future in both fields. Both fields will ask a lot of our families and will frankly require the support of our families. Include your family in the decision-making process on this one. You will probably be most satisfied in the long run.
