So i just came back from a tour in korea where i was also involuntarily extended and just got to my next duty station a couple weeks ago and they are deploying next month. Do i get any dwell time? And if so how do i go about asking my chain of command for it?

Dwell time is only for deployments, not for PCS

It’s 6 months of dwell time whether you’re single or married. Any hardship tour has a 6 month dwell time upon returning stateside.SPC (Join to see)

SFC (Join to see) I looked it up. It's actually in the updated 614-30 now.

Korea is considered an hardship tour, so you are entitled to 6 months of non-deployment for every 12 months you served consecutively. Your S1 should have set your dwell time to the date you returned from your overseas location.

You'll have to go through the chain of command on this.

SPC (Join to see) depends on what they say. I've been out of the loop for a few years.
