Most likely. If yoou havent completed the minimum amout of years in your contract in that mos , if im not mistaken that could exempt you is if you promoted to that unit or was placed there based on the armys needs.

There is a high possibility, however you may be eligible for an affiliation bonus as a Drill Sergeant.

Current bonuses for Reserve DS. You may not get both but like SGT(P) Jorge Diaz Caro said there’s a certain amount of years you’ll have to fulfill to keep all of it. It’s really be something to ask a career counselor though.

I would agree, talk to your career counselor.

Becoming a Drill Sergeant should not require a MOS change, so not sure how that would affect your bonus, it’s just an additional skill identifier.
