SFC,
My name is SGT Jose Villagomez. I am requesting release from E Co 3-142nd AV BN to Active Duty. While I was overseas in CENTCOM, I reenlisted for three years with the CT Army National Guard and wanted to commit my future serving my state. When I came back home, I thought transition was going to go well for me. Instead, I miss being able to do new activities with different people and developing friendships. I have switched jobs more times this year than I had before I was deployed. Financially this job is not currently fulfilling my financial needs nor my emotional needs. I believe there would be a greater chance to reclass into a different MOS and more opportunities to go to different schools if I was in active duty. Changing to an active duty unit will be more beneficial to my goals and future plans for my career in the Army.
Very Respectfully,
SGT Jose Villagomez

Sir,
My name is PFC/Cadet Kim, Jong. I am requesting release from 947th Quartermaster Company Reserves Unit to a National Guard Unit C Co. (DET 1) 1-116th INF VAARNG at 15 College St. Christiansburg, VA. 24073. I am currently enrolled as a junior in college at Virginia Tech and I feel it is impractical for me to drive five to six hours to Pennsylvania once every month when there is a unit within ten miles of my school. Changing to this unit will be more beneficial to my collegiate career and future plans for my career in the Army.
Very Respectfully,
C/Kim, Jong
