The answer can't be made without more information.

What more information do you need? Its a weekend course and I want to transfer units to a different city but same trade, and I want to do it soon, maybe before the course is over. So I want to know if you can put in a transfer if my course is still running?

Well that is the information that Mr. Wallace was asking for.

You would have to find out if the unit in the new city has a position for you and are they willing to take on an untrained Pte. You may also ask if they are willing to keep paying for you to complete the course in a different location.

Where are you now and where do you want to go?

I would probably finish out the course with my current unit, but then ask for a transfer to the new city afterwards. I would imagine that the current city would be pretty upset about me doing that though...correct? The only other thing is that my course ends in May and I know the unit goes on stand down around June, so would that leave enough time for me to get the transfer through so I could do summer courses with my new unit?

Transfers are the nature of the beast in the Reserve world - as long as you're open about your plans you likely won't have any trouble - the gaining unit just has to agree to take you on, but I can't say I've ever heard of that not happening.

You should go thru your CoC in the official sense.  You might have a contact at the unit you want to transfer to who is saying yes you can go there, but that isn't official.

The G1 folks at your Bde HQ will need to be involved, which means your Unit CoC will need to initiate the paperwork for the transfer, etc.  If you are going from one CBG to another CBG in the same Area, that involves more.  If you are transferring Areas...well you get the point I think.

Engage your CoC now, so they have time to staff the paperwork.  With the cutbacks in Class A and B wages, waiting might ensure this doesn't happen for you.

And there it is. Go see your CoC, and give them your request.
