Once I am promoted to SSG, will I be at the mercy of the enlisted marketplace or will I get to reenlist for a duty station of choice?

So I’m currently a SGT. I’m in ALC right now and I’m most likely going to promote to SSG within a couple months of graduating. I’ve been in for 5 years and so obviously not indef yet. So once I promote to SSG, will I be at the mercy of the enlisted marketplace? Or will I get to reenlist for choice of duty station? TIA

I can't bring up the latest MILPER messages right now (HRC is doing maintenance), but aren't 19D's over-strength? Your reenlistment options are going to be driven by how your MOS is - shortage, balanced, or over-strength*

If it IS over-strength, and you don't have the required IN/OUT Call exception, then choice of station (OCONUS or CONUS) won't be offered.

I will defer to MSG (Join to see) though if I misspoke.
