Question
If you re-enlist do you get to pick your duty station?

Answer
Dear Anthony --

There is a re-enlistment option that allows you to re-enlist for a specific duty station.  That said, the duty station you desire must require your MOS at your rank, or you cannot be promised your duty station.  If you are trying for a bonus, or an MOS change, then you would have to choose between those options and your duty station guarantee.

Please write back, if you have additional questions.  Thank you for your service.
