I have two and a 1/2 year contract, and once I get to my first duty station, I’ll have exactly two years left. Once my reenlistment window opens up, am I able to reup with option 4 to go to Korea? I’m hearing different timelines to be able to PCS out of a duty station. Would I be able to PCS to korea as soon as I reup or do I have to be at my first duty station for certain amount of time? (Like 12 months or 23 months mandatory?)

Sgt? 2.5 year contract, both suspect to scrutiny. Be more concise regarding your current rank, are you currently in AIT, and if not what is your status?

I’m a SGT and my husband is the one with the 2.5 yr contract. 2 year contract really means 2 year plus your BCT+AIT time if that clears anything up

2.5 year contract? That seems very strange. The Army offers enlistment contracts of two years, three years, four years, five years, and six years. Not sure how you got a contract for 2.5 years. But, I'm not a recruiter so I won't dig too deep on that one. What I am concerned about is that your rank is listed as SGT yet you state "once I get to my first duty station" which tells me that you are in AIT. How in the world did you enlist in the Army and get SGT right off the bat?

2 yr contract really means 2 yrs at a duty location plus the training period which for my husband, it was 6 months. Also I was posting this for my husband and didn’t think that it was going to be a problem... sorry for the confusion
