I have been at my current duty station here in PA (AGR) for a few months now. We just received a new MTOE change that will go into effect FY 08. My S-3 slot will change to an MOS that I don't hold. My questions are:

1) Why would I have been transferred to a position that will be going away in 18 months? Wouldn't they have been aware of this change and tried to avoid a cost move knowing that another move would be required before the end of a standard tour?

2) Is the elimination of my MOS from the MTOE justification enough to put in a 4187 now requesting a transfer even though I have been on station for such a short time?

I have tried to contact HRC-STL via telephone and e-mail and have yet to get a response. I thought maybe one of the GC's out here might be able to provide some insight.

Well, I don’t know for sue but here are my $0.02:

1. Sometimes the best and brightest are not put in the position to make decisions. Either that or the position is so critical that they needed someone there for the time being. Then again, they might change their minds and add you back on the MTOE by then.

2. The worst answer they could give you is no. I would send it up any ways.

RE: HRC, rarely will someone receive your inquiry nor less get back with you. I had a CSM from the 75th DIV go up to the St Louis office and wait in someone’s office for 45 min before he was attended to. If he received that kind of treatment in person, you can draw your own conclusions as to how you will be treated via phone/ email.

In other words... Good luck!

From my experience they will try to keep you local and then move you when your 3 years are up. If you don't won't to move I would not send them an anything and see how long it takes them to see that you are not in a valid slot.

Good luck reaching someone at HRC...
