Is it possible to cancel my assignment? Rule 156, you are currently on orders?

Hello,

So I log in to check the Requisitions on ASK and this popped up. Rule: 156, Description: You are already on orders. I currently have less than 11 months before my ETS date and my report date is in October. This is also my first enlistment and I have not re-enlisted yet, but I usually thought you kinda had a say for your first time if you choose to re-enlist (which I still haven't decided yet). This surprised me because it came out of nowhere. Is it possible to change or cancel these orders or assignment so I can pick a place of my choosing? Or am I screwed and can't do nothing about it and have to report to my new Duty Station with 5 months remaining on my contract?

- Thanks

I'm no expert in this realm, but I assess it just means you are already on orders where you currently are at.

You have to reenlist to meet the assignment SRR. Once you're on assignment you can only reenlist for the assignment.

You do have a choice in your first reassignment. You've been in your reenlistment window for 4 months now and haven't taken advantage of that opportunity so the Army chose for you. At this point you have to reenlist for it or decline it and ETS.
You may also be eligible to sign a first termer statement and have the assignment deleted. If you have never reenlisted and will have less than 4 years at your ETS, you are eligible to sign a first termer statement

You are an E5 Active Duty, and have yet to figure it out? There are 2 ways- the Army way, or go home. You seldom have a say except I want to go home. You have a shortage MOS which is why you probably climbed so fast. Now your only two options are take the orders and re-enlist to cover the TOS or sign the NO Thank you papers and get out when your time is up.
