SGT Private RallyPoint Member 8556778 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So I’m currently a SGT. I’m in ALC right now and I’m most likely going to promote to SSG within a couple months of graduating. I’ve been in for 5 years and so obviously not indef yet. So once I promote to SSG, will I be at the mercy of the enlisted marketplace? Or will I get to reenlist for choice of duty station?
