Is it possible to have an ALC date during a tour to Korea?

These days with the STEP schools are mandatory and units/Army will not keep you from your career progression like in the past.

I can tell you from my point, I would never hold a Soldiers from any educational experience. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 22 Apr 2017 04:52:26 -0400 2017-04-22T04:52:26-04:00 Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 22 at 2017 1:35 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-possible-to-have-an-alc-date-during-a-tour-to-korea-would-the-unit-let-me-leave-or-try-and-defer-my-pme?n=2513567&urlhash=2513567 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If your already there for a 1 year non cmd sponsored tour, then most likely they (HRC) won&#39;t schedule you while your there. Not really sure how they have changed or addressed any issues since STEP. Better to check with your schools NCO. Good Luck!

If you are there as part of a garrison unit, like 8th Army and others, the it depends on your tour. If you are on a one year (unaccompanied) then you will most likely go en-route to your next duty station. If you are on a two year tour (accompanied) or if you do an IPCOT the. You can interrupt your tour to go and your DEROS will slide to the right. SGT Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 27 Apr 2017 13:44:52 -0400 2017-04-27T13:44:52-04:00 2017-04-21T16:54:27-04:00
