I'm planning on re enlisting next July or August. I'm trying to get Ft. Lewis. What is the typical time for reporting to your new unit? When I re enlisted to go from Ft. Polk to Ft. Leonard Wood, I re enlisted in Sept, and my report date was May of the following year. I know that you are able to bring your report date closer, because I got a report date in November of the same year instead of May of the next. Would I be able to push my report date further away? Say, if I were to get a report date of December, could I make it for March or April? Thanks!

When you and your Career Counselor sit down and look for assignments, you'll see the locations and report dates at that time.

Your Career Counselor can submit a request deferment to move your assignment report date closer or further up to 3-months. Anything more than that would be an exception to policy and very rarelt approved unless severe circumstances.

That sounds like a plan to me. Thank you once again AR you're been more than helpful.
