Commuting To or Transferring States
Hello all,
Please let me know if this is beyond the scope of what I should be concerned with at this point and time, but I’m curious. Are there any 19th Group members who are commuting from out of state or have transferred to their home state after enlisting in another (Utah being the starting point)? I would love to hear some perspective on either scenario. Thank you. |

If you are Enlisted, nothing stops you from transferring to another state. You can do what is called an "uncoordinated IST" (interstate transfer) where the gaining state just pulls you in. Losing state can't stop it. If you aren't yet SF qualified...this really isn't something you should be all too worried about, as you can pretty much go where you want. |
Roger that. Thank you.

I'm a 19th Grouper who commutes to drill. I've commuted to Colorado and now commuting to Utah. The financial difference is that UT allows 18/25/35 series soldiers to off set 500 dollars for travel paid via DTS.
I'm sure there's other states that are doing the same, but I haven't heard of them yet. I would be curious to see what other states are doing it. |

Thank you for the feedback. I’m from California and I’m in the process of enlisting through Utah (18X/Rep-63 preferably as a feeder 35F). Seems like there are quite a few guys from 19th making that commute. I would prefer to stay in California, but dealing with recruiters from both states, I’ve had a much more positive experience with Utah. |

I am a 1LT, currently living in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) and I commute down to North Carolina for my SFREs (~7-8hrs). The drive sucks, but worth it in the end. I have IST into the NCARNG, and on the books in a HHC CSSB Unit until I complete SFAS.
As of now, I will be headed to to Oct 20 SFAS class with a handful of other candidates from our SFRE program. So to answer your question, yes guys will travel esp out of state, I am the farthest away in our class, but you shouldn't cut yourself short, just because a unit is not "local". |
on the enlisted side its fine until you get to E-8. Then it can get political.

Almost my entire team drove from Missouri to Mississippi for drills for many years (late 1990s and early 2000s). We never got travel pay. We just carpooled and ate the travel expenses ourselves. We clearly weren’t in it for the money lol.

They have about 15 of them today. And the Recruiting BN IADT manager is responsible for getting them to 11B OSUT. |

I’m currently trying to get on the waiting list in CA, but looking at other states with 18x. |
