It never hurts to ask - I was switching bases some years ago and wanted to stay in my old base an extra month. Being winter time, and staffing not tight they let me stay. They did say it was easier to hold off the conversion a month than move it forward, because of seniority - I wasn't jumping ahead of anyone, in fact, I was letting more junior people go before me.
