Can my unit defer my PCS orders for an upcoming NTC rotation?

They better have an extremely strong argument!

No, what happens is that everyone not on orders whose ETS is at least 90 days past the end of the rotation is given a stabilization code to prevent them from PCSing.
Orders can be deferred for operational reasons such as a deployment, but NTC is not an operational reason.

Read under operational deletion or deferment. Your losing command can request to defer your PCS orders if they need to based off training, strength, or special skills.

I've never seen it done. But I've been in some pretty decent units that tended to act in the favor of the Soldier on matters like this. That's not to say I haven't heard the complete opposite experiences from others

Unfortunately, the answer is yes if you provide a critical skill.
