Can I re-enlist after extending to meet SRR?

I just PCS’d from Hawaii to Ft. Drum with a report date of 20200210. From Hawaii, I did an extension of 14 months just to come to Ft Drum to meet the SRR since I was put on orders. My ETS from Ft. Drum is 20210324. The retention NCO in Hawaii advised me to extend and when I arrived to Ft Drum, I would be in my window to re-enlist. The retention NCO at Ft. Drum saw that an assignment at Ft. Sam Houston was available for me to take for four years but then later said I can’t re-enlist because the report date is before my 24 months time on station (20210210). I don’t have any facts and would appreciate some factual information. Thank you.

The time on station rule for reenlistment is 24 months. The earliest report date for your next assignment can be no earlier than 202203. Your Career Counselor can still send a request for JBSA or another duty assignment with a requested report date of 202203 or later.
Your Career Counselor can show you the actual policy in writing if you like, and it's also published on Army Reenlistment as well.

Then ask the Retension NCO for the facts. He or she is who you will be working through to make this happen, there only interest in this is your interest. Talk to them.
