Good evening, this is SPC MOON. I have been in fort hood 2 years and I am really desperate to pcs to other installation (korea highly preferable) for variety reasons. However, my branch manager keep saying she cannot pcs me until I spend 3 years in fort hood. I am told If I get my Promotable status I might get more chance to pcs since it will categorize me in different bracket. I was wondering if this is true.

No it doesn't work like that at all. You can reenlist for a duty station of choice when you're in your reenlistment window or PCS at three years on station. You're an initial term Soldier so unless you have a long initial enlistment like 5 years, your branch manager can't PCS you until you reenlist and are no longer an Initial term Soldier

SPC (Join to see) , things:
1. Pay close attention to SFC (Join to see)'s advice.
2. Do not based promotion attendance on your possibilities of future PCS.
If making a career of the military is your goal, then make peace with that one little Army Value of Self-Less Service. Yes, we all want to have control of our career and manage our duty stations/assignments. That is a known fact and the leadership is well aware of it and try to accommodate as much as possibly; while attending the service's mission requirements.
