If you were in MI, the best assignments are overseas. Conus is boring. Over half my career was overseas. I did 7 years in Korea in various tours.

d. Individual dwell time. Soldiers will accrue dwell time for combat and/or operational deployments and for serving a PCS dependent restricted tour.
(1) After 30 days on deployment, the dwell accrual rate will be 1 month deployed to 1 month dwell (1:1) for AC. The Reserve Component (RC) ratio for dwell for mobilization is 1:4.
(2) Soldiers serving PCS on a dependent restricted tour for 12 months will accrue 6 months dwell time. Soldiers on a dependent restricted tour who are voluntarily or involuntarily extended are not entitled to greater than 6 months dwell time.
(3) Soldiers may elect to waive individual dwell time to deploy, by applying in writing, through their chain of command to the first general officer. Involuntary waivers of dwell require Secretary of Defense approval.
