When switching from active Duty to national guard back to active duty do I get to choose my duty station? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/when-switching-from-active-duty-to-national-guard-back-to-active-duty-do-i-get-to-choose-my-duty-station <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So I got out of active duty and transferred to the guard well Im realizing now it wasn’t a good decision. So my main question is once I decide to go back active duty would I get to choose my duty station since I was active before or is it needs of the army at that point?

That changes fairly often, you need to talk to a recruiter. <br />My experience was that Prior Service got what the Army gave them. If you were 11B Active also, my guess is that you would get to keep your MOS. Again, talk to a Recruiter for all the current Prior Service rules.

If you’re a SPC 11B like it says on you profile then it will be no issue. You’ll be able to go Option 18 which is duty station of choice but which ones are available when you’re at meps picking is a different discussion.
