Questions: When can I apply for lateral xfer to FAO regarding the obligatory community service, and what is chance of a waiver if I need it? What is the chance of current community letting me go before dissociated sea tour?
Thanks for any info and advise!
Background:
Looking to go from 1310 to FAO. My winging commitment ends Nov 2016. I'm up for my next orders in Sep. 2015 (currently on my shore tour, next is dissociated sea tour). I think I'm competitive for FAO b/c I already have a Masters degree in international affairs. I'd like to do the 2015 April xfer board.
MILSPERSMAN 1212-010 says you cannot request lateral transfer from unrestricted line to RL until within 6 months ofcompletion of obligatory service in your community. (opnavinst 1210.5 says 1 year, not 6 months and is dated later).
