I was in the reserves for 3 years. I was out of the army after that for 3 more years. I just came back into the army fulltime in september. I am stationed in korea until October. I am a E-4 and a 92Y. I pretty much had to go back into my old MOS b/c it was the needs of the army. And what i really want to be is a MP. I want to reclass and go to AIT when i leave here. Also what are the chances that i can get my choice of duty stations..my recruiter told me that since i am overseas..i get my choice. I want Fort Polk, LA. Can anyone help? thanks

If you are an initial term Soldier (having less than 180 days prior active service) and you fully qualify, this should be a pretty easy request.

Are you in your 24-month reenlistment window? If you reenlist for Option 3, Army Training Reenlistment Option, you'll have the opportunity to select up to four locations to PCS to after AIT. However, this location will not be guaranteed.

my 24 month window will be on september 25th and my deros from korea is october 12th..is that cutting it too close? also my retention nco tells me that 31B is in the BEAR program..would i qualify for that? About the four choices that i have..is it like 2 stateside and two overseas? just curious..thanks!

Since your MOS is currently balanced, you should be qualified. If your MOS becomes understrength soon, you will not be qualified.

As for the assignments, you can pick any four (CONUS or OCONUS).

Thank you so much for your help! You have given me alot of useful information, i appreciate it!
