Your story is irrelevant and he has to read hundreds of emails a day, don&#39;t make him dig through your email to figure out what you want.<br />As one counselor used to tell me, &quot;An email to HRC should be like a woman&#39;s skirt - short enough to keep your attention, but long enough to cover everything&quot;.

Or have you already been stationed ? If your in tradoc than your assignment manager will not deal with a trainee regardless if you have graduated or not ..if you have already graduated and are currently stationed somewhere than I am pretty sure you will have to go through your chain of command first if you want separation from your unit SPC Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 17 Apr 2018 15:41:57 -0400 2018-04-17T15:41:57-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-should-i-compose-an-email-to-my-assignment-manager?n=3552500&urlhash=3552500 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Umm... You&#39;re a PVT... You shouldn&#39;t be sending an email to anyone... Sorry, but the branch manager has far more important people to deal with than a PVT... Unless you are coming off of a deployment, which you more than likely are not seeing as how you are a PVT, you have no pull to get an assignment given to you b y branch... If you are coming out of basic/OSUT/AIT then you were given an opportunity to put in your wishlist and that is about all the agency that you have in this matter.
