I AM a SSG and I re-enlisted last April in Afghanistan to go to Hawaii. My wife was accepted to a school in Colorado. SO I am looking for someone willing to swap assignments if anyone is on assignment for Ft Cason around 10 April 2014. Please let me know ASAP

I am retired with property in Colorado Springs, but I will take your Hawaii assignment if we can talk DA into letting me come back in, JK.

Good luck, I would suggest checking the MOS in the search engine for RP and seeing if there are any others with same MOS and hit them up.

Damn, I wish I was a SSG again, I'd swap with you. I loved Hawaii, wish you could have it both ways.

Swapping assignments is not something that can be easily done...It
is not just a matter of doing a one for one exchange, especially when you
reenlisted for the assignment. I would
recommend you talk to your career counselor and see about doing a waiver to
your reenlistment option, at the same time you will need to talk to your branch
about them putting you on orders to FT Carson.
Keep in mind according to AR 601-280, when you request to waive your reenlistment
option you will be put on orders according to the needs of the Army.
