Does switching MACOMs while staying on the same installation reset your time on station?

Yes and no. It will reset your time on station on your ERB but it won't fool your branch manager.

But a good alternative is to do a year in Korea and return

Yes, I initially spent 6 years in the 82nd. I then transferred to SWC to attend the Q-course. After a year, I transferred to 3rd GRP. After 6 years, I transferred back to SWC to be an instructor. After 3 years I transferred back to 3rd GRP. After 3 years, I transferred to SF Command. Its been 20 years, and I'm still stationed at Fort Bragg. Maybe its different having that I have a MOS that is limited to where I may go. May not?

Yeah I was in SWC for a year and my retention NCO is saying that none of that time will count towards my time on station for eligibility to reclass. I was just trying to get some clarification, thank you!
