SPC Jones,
Try to see if you can reenlist for a school option or if your Unit would pay for you to go to L6 that portion of our mos has more assignments available also bonus available. However branch a your retention NCO I correct at this time those are the locations for the most part we are short th most in 1O level positions. You may be able to ask I they have a pinpoint to a certain Brigade in both locations to see what you may be able to be slotted as. Try to match that up with your career map.

I am a 74D I have been to both places. Find out where in Korea you would go because if they send you to Area I there is no more command sponsorship (meaning your family can not go with you) . Alaska I must say I enjoyed it out there definitely different but your family can go with you. Now if you do not want to go to either all you could do is hound branch I think your branch manager is Mrs. Monroe. Good luck either way...

This may be a little outside of the box, but have you thought about going WMD-CST?

This suggestion is contrary to most of the other advice that I have read on this thread. Your retention NCO may not have a choice in what to offer you. If you are up for reenlistment, you may not have much of a choice, though it sounds like your branch is giving you a way out of the Alaska choice by giving you a choice that on the surface is unpalatable - Korea. One thing that I found out on one reenlistment was actually a pleasant surprise. I wanted to reenlist to go to Panama, but found out that I did not have a choice because I had been selected by a DA board for another assignment, what the retention NCO and I did not know is that it was for an assignment to Panama, so I got what I wanted after all.

When do you have do reenlist by? I say check periodically & see what open but don't sign until you get what you want. My husband was a 92Y so maybe more options for him since they're everywhere but he had choice of duty station when he reenlisted.
If not & Alaska & Korea are you're only options, I hear such good things about Alaska! A friend of mine & her husband pcs'd from Alaska to Bragg and requested to go back to Alaska they loved it that much!
