TPU SGT volunteered for DS School in his SSG Promotion Packet. Can someone tell me the process?

How does he find out if he was accepted and about how long does it take to find out?

When the promotion orders are cut, if he was accepted, reassignment orders will get cut for the month after promotion. After reassignment, the vetting process will take place and if all things checked out, the unit will send the SGT to the DSA for DS qualification.

At least, that’s about what happened to me. I was already in a DS Unit and was reassigned out of the unit. But promotion came first.

The reassignment orders were issued because I selected “DS” and “will train” under the scope of not being DS qualified. The “will train” selection opened me up for any unit that EPMD decided to place me in because I “will train” to qualify for the position. I had the opportunity to stay in the DS unit but didn’t, accepted the reassignment and transferred to a different DS unit, went through the process of becoming a DS and now I work at the DSA.

Hopefully this helps.
