Assignment manager might laugh at you, but it&#39;s not like they can kick you out of the MOS for calling. That said, I don&#39;t honestly think they&#39;ll give you anything, you&#39;re just needs of the Army at that point. Good luck! 1SG Chris Brown Wed, 07 Oct 2020 20:36:31 -0400 2020-10-07T20:36:31-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-i-call-hrc-while-in-ait-and-ask-for-a-specific-duty-station-if-available?n=6381334&urlhash=6381334 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I’ve reclassed twice once when I came in the Army (Prior Service) and when I reenlisted I reclassed... luckily I got Carson and Campbell out of those two... what are you reclassing to and where do you want to go ?

In fact, since HRC is working from home they won’t answer the phone. You can email, but they generally wont answer. Your best bet is to update your ASK. If there is an assignment opening that matches a location you want, you might just get it.

You will attend school in a TDY enroute status. Your future branch manager is not in control of your follow on assignment (except certain specific MOSs) Retention branch is. Retention branch will place you on assignment and you absolutely MAY NOT call them. In fact, if you call them your Career Counselor will get a very nasty email and the training follow manager might just have the perfect candidate for that Korea or Sill assignment.

Most of us got our top picks.<br /><br />However mine was a PCS length school, it may be different for TDY en-route. You can definitely make the request, but don’t get your hopes up.

You get trained and qualified in your MOS your then go where the Army needs you, as the Army needs you. You do not get to pick where you want to go. Not straight off at least. SSG Brian G.
