I think a lot of it has to do with your MOS. Critical shortage MOS's would probably be easy as hell. "Needs of The Army"..

There are a lot of factors that go into answering that question, certain MOS's for certain ranks. So depending on the rank and MOS might be easy or it might be hard, and you would have to get a release signed by the Reserve Unit, if you have specific or would like specifics message me

It's not easy, but it's based on the HRC Prior service accession rules. You should be able to look them up online or ask a local recruiter. Based on the fact that you're a staff sergwant, I would say slim to none. Might want to look into the agr program, you'll have better options there

A way around it would be to find deployments, there are always deployment list, your unit should have a them and you should be able to look it up on line.

As a current Recruiter(meaning Tuesday when I return to work, my place of duty is a recruiting center and I put people in the Army everyday), I can tell you that because you're a SSG it will be tough. We go by a set of prerequisites called the Business Rules. They can change every other week so Google can't help you. With that said, you can almost always go AGR as a Recruiter, the Army needs them. If your open to Special Forces, that is also a possibility if you are open to losing a rank. There is also the issue with your current unit. As a SSG, they may not want to lose you and can deny your release. Your MOS is a factor also, certain MOSs are the "flavor of the month" and can be filled easily. Your best bet is to go see a Recruiter in your area so they can sit down and go through the manning and business rules with you. Good luck to you SSG.

Depends on the current business rules. Need to get in touch with a Recruiter , They change and you want to make sure conditional release packet is approved and ready to go. That way when the rules changes, you can go sign right away if it is a job you want a qualify for.
