If I were to go back onto AD and switch from 15T to 35F, would this be good for the career or would I be way behind my peers?

Spent 11 years on Active Duty then went to the guard for 1 year. Going back on AD but thinking about switching over to 35F. Any recommendations? Would this be good for the career or would I be way behind my peers

I guess the main question I have is that: Are you going to be able to keep your SSG or get dropped down?

I've always got the impression 35F was a fast track myself in the enlisted ranks (having been 35F myself).

Worst case, put in for WO after enough 35F time.

What're your goals? 35F offers a lot of unique opportunities compared to other MOSs. How does this fit into your post Army plans? Feel free to DM me if you have any questions you're not sure about.

35F is a great MOS. I myself reclassed to this MOS early I'm my career. There were lots in my class that were doing the same thing. The MOS had many jobs, but only 2 sides. You are combat, or you are strategic. I was combat my whole career. I deployed often, but learned so much so fast. You have to educate yourself on all the systems, they are your lifelines. It's a fairly difficult school, as the requirements to pass are pretty step, so you can't bs your way through it. But it's rewarding. Go for it... You won't regret it.
