Can I push my report date further than what I initially signed for?

I have recently reenlisted for Hawaii and my report date is October of 2020. For background info, I am currently in Germany for a rotation and won't be back until mid July. I wanted to ask if I can push my orders back so I can have more time to get my personal stuff together and have time to decompress. I know, stupid on my part for not thinking this through. Thank you in advance.

Gotta talk to your Assignment Manager and see what they can do for you.

Getting back in July with a report date in OCT? That is plenty of time and if you ask for more, expect some tough and/or deep questions why that is not enough time. Please do not answer them here, it is your business but be prepared for those that can make such a change to ask.

Decompress from being in Germany is a chive assignment. You have plenty of time. You left out where you are currently stationed?

You are given 10 business to clear installation. If you get back in July, you have plenty of time to ship HHG and POV. HRC is not going to push your report date to allow you to decompress. You’re in the army, get over it

I came back from a deployment in October and PCSed to Hawaii in January. It really isn’t as bad unless you have dogs. I see you’re not married so there won’t be much to do at all. What I will say is make sure you have everything squared away to clear. They’ll give you ten days but you can realistically do it in 4. I would however Prioritize arranging to ship your car and HHG. Also have your gear clean and ready to turn in before you even get clearing papers (as long as your not using it for training). If you have any questions about the move I’ll help as best as I can.
