Can I request a Reassignment for PCS Orders with my Rank Justification?

I was sent a welcome letter from Alaska early before they actually cut my orders so I emailed the civilian coordinator Mrs. Knox to see if before she processes my orders, if she could give me anything CONUS?
If she cuts my orders it will be for an incoming Sergeant however I am to pin Staff Sergeant here July 1st, so could that be a good enough justification for her to do a reassignment since they haven't been sent for processing yet?
I spoke to one of my Branch Managers, a SFC up at HRC and he said that it is up to her for assignment selection and just to email her, which I did and am awaiting a response. He also said that I could do a DA 4187 for deletion and await new orders. I am confident that my chain of command up to my Battalion SGM would approve. How likely is it that the DA 4187 would be successful?
I am open to anything CONUS which I stated in the email, I am trying to stay within the US in order to make visitation with my son easier.

Do you know that the slot your requisition is tied to is a 13F2 slot? Have you looked at the requisition in EDAS? If you were promotable when you were placed on the assignment, you were likely placed on a 13F3 assignment.

So the day that I received the Welcome Letter is the day that I went to the Promotion Board. The Branch manager said that the unit in Alaska jumped the gun in sending the welcome Letter so I don't have orders officially processed or cut. So if the orders have been sent for processing over the weekend they should be for a 13F2 level Slot.

Call branch direct and explain the issue but usually they only will change orders when you are promoted. If there is a SSG slot in your acquiring unit OR there is a person of SSG rank that is leaving soon via discharge, school enroute, etc... they will not change your post but instead you will receive only a slot identifier for the new slot.

Sounds like your branch manager gave you your options. Also it’s hard to know what the coordinator will do. I’m assuming you really want to stay in the lower 48, but travel from Alaska should be pretty easy.
