When I served in the Reserves I was working for a company that gave me 7 assignments in 4 states in 10 years. Hence I served in NE, IL, and IA. I just found a unit that had a slot and asked to join them. I think it is tougher for an officer because there are not as many slots therefore not as many openings. I was in one unit where a major drove 400 miles to make drill.

754 miles one way was my top commute, though who knows what the next one will be? I've known several commanders who have flown from the east coast to the west coast in order to accept command.

I drive 980 miles (one way) now. I probably should be flying, but I like the drive.

I drove up to 60. Not sure I would have gone a couple of hundred, but, now that I have retirement benefits I know it would have been worth it.

Use the HRC portal to find a vacancy or via MILSUITE or S1 net. Then contact that unit, as an officer we usually have to interview with the BN CO and SSA prior to being accepted in the slot. Once accepted you do a 4187 with your loosing unit to make the transfer official.

Go on the unit vacancy locator site and find vacancies you are interested in. Call the units up and ask about the positions you are interested in.
