Where can I find units in my hometown to transition from active duty to reserves

2015-07-20T12:53:17-04:00

I'm soon to be transitioning to the reserves and want to find out where I can find the units that will have my mos or do they just assign me to one closest to my home of record? I'm asking because I was made aware that I can possibly transition earlier than previous ETS if the unit has a spot available now any info would help

Congrats and as Brojakowski said, talk to the recruiters where you'd like to go. They'll let you know of units in the area.

The best way would be to talk to a reserve retention NCO in OCK. They can pull all the units in the area on their database tell you where you MOS is at or give you other MOS options. And since you'll need one to do your transfer paperwork anyway best to start with them.
You can get a contact from their facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/armycareercounselors/

I also know that the reserves in norman are seeking do sergeants if you look up Don Carr on Facebook he can give you the down low. Tell him my name and he will give you some info. Also if you can get to the norman armory they have a reserve there.

You will want to go to "My Records" on the home page of http://www.hrc.army.mil.

After signing in with your AKO user name and password (or CAC if you have the ability) click on "Tools".

From there look for "Vacancy Search" and click on it.

Under "Vacancy type" make sure the bubble next to TPU is chosen. the rest is self explanatory.

If you have Vacancy questions about the Army national Guard you can call a Recruiter close to where your HOR is. Good Luck.
