Maybe other career fields use these more than mine did. I see your an infantrymen, so maybe they use this more than the Transportation branch. But if i ever felt antsy and needed an assignment i would just call branch. That way i had a say in MY career, instead of them just dictating things for me. I might not have always gotten my first choice, but at least i had options and would take the lesser of the normal evils they proposed to me both for my career and in the best interests of my family.

Granted you can call your branch manager and work with them on getting the duty station you want. But in reality, branch managers will not pay attention to your ASK.

It’s possible.

If you want to leave, call branch and ask them what they have available. MSG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 10 Mar 2020 12:14:41 -0400 2020-03-10T12:14:41-04:00 2020-03-06T13:24:57-05:00
