If he would incur any commitment past his current one, he can turn down that commitment and they can either waive it and PCS him or keep him in place, with an established DOS.
Thanks for the info. I just talked to him and the move is from Kansas to Missouri. Not far. He asked his battalion XO and the XO said it was a 1 year commitment. I told him he might want to check with the base personnel office or the Army personnel office (where ever that is) about the length. If it's one year, he's okay with that. It would extend him about 5 months.
