Anyone have intel on switching from Guard to active overseas? Requirements, MOS they are accepting, etc?

I am trying to request a duty station which I know is a long shot, but no sense in holding back. I'm guessing this may come down to who I know, not what I know...but I do have a high PT score, very positive counselings, and would come highly recommended by the E-8, E-9, a few O-2 and O-5's here in country, as well as my organic chain of command.

Thanks.
