Hello long story short. Was put on assignment to korea in Jan this year as a SPC. Report date is Dec. Got my stripes last month. Is it possible to change my assignment assuming they put me in a 10 slot? Thanks.

As someone who dealt with assignments to Korea frequently, that WILL NOT stop your assignment to Korea. What it can do is get you a more career enhancing job. Be sure to communicate with your sponsor and make them aware of your promotion. There were a lot of my Soldiers that showed and I did not know they were promoted. I was then forced to keep them in a SPC job because I had planned and needed them there at the time. I eventually moved them, but I could have fix things with better communication up front from the NCO.

Sometimes the thing that we don't want to do is the thing that prepare us for a greater career.

Contact your Branch Manager for your new grade, they’ll probably be able to have you projected to an E5 slot versus the 10 level...Good Luck to you...
