I just got put in assignment. I reenlisted for a long overseas tour which is 24+ months. I've been only in on my current duty station for a Year and 5 Months. Is there anything I can do? Who can I contact? TIA.

Just to add more context. When I reenlisted, I reenlisted for Hawaii. And in my contract we had a choice of short or long overseas tour.

You received orders because of your DEROS. When you received your levy packet at your previous assignment you elected a tour, short or long. It has nothing to do with your reenlistment or your contract. You are only authorized to do the short tour if you have dependents residing in the states or pay child support. Long tour length is not 24+ months, it is 36 months exactly.

In order to fix this you will have to look at your orders bringing you to Hawaii and verify they say accompanied tour, and not unaccompanied tour. Then go to your S1 and have them fix your DEROS, then contact your branch manager to inform them you had the wrong tour and your DEROS has been adjusted
