Help joining a specific US Army battalion?

I am an Officer Candidate getting ready to graduate OCS, and I selected Transportation during branching selection. I know that I have BOLC II and TBOLC left, but I was already looking into units to join. The specific BN I want to join is the 835th or 836th Transportation Battalion. Does anyone know how I would start to set myself up to hopefully join either one of these?

    Well, just like the outside world is; it's all about connections. I don't know how it works with officers really, but usually if you know a commander or Senior nco that works with or knows someone that works in Personnel, might be able to hook you up; I've heard of well connected people being able to go to specific locations. I really wish I could help you out.

    The other only thing you could do (which is daring) is for you to write the 835 commander and pretty much SHINE on paper about how you could be a good choice and a great leader and you're really looking forward to work for them. Make the unit look good. I saw this happened once in one of my duty stations. Once again, good luck, bud!
