How likely is it to be placed on assignment with 5 months between your DEROS and ETS?

I'm debating on reenlisting but can't determine anything just yet. I will have 5 months between my DEROS and my ets. I've been told previously that I'm definitely not going to be placed on assignment. Today I was told that I will be put on assignment and they will force me to extend, reenlist, or sign a DEC statement. How true is any of this?

That is a VERY common likelihood.
As in, so common, anything else is rare.

It is highly possible that you can be put on orders even though you are 5 months out. And yes, if you are put on orders, you will have to extend, re-up or sign that dec statement.
