25N, Re-Enlist to Reclass to?

2015-05-12T09:15:32-04:00

Been promotable since June 2013, but 25N promotion points have been maxed for just as long. My window opens up in a few months, but I'm looking to reclass to an MOS with growth opportunities, as I'm looking to stay in, rather than end up getting separated due to RCP. Any suggestions?

SGT Private RallyPoint Member here is another example. SFC Private RallyPoint Member 35Q gets CLI after AIT I think that would be a good option to stay MI and rank up faster. Their promotion points for E5 are usually 39, as ridiculous it may sound.

25U or 25S are far better for overall growth in the next 5-10 years.

As a 25N, 25Q, 25C or 25L it's going to be rough for another few years. Those all feed into 25W so you have to think about everything as a whole and not just becoming an NCO.

It's all across the Army but just especially bad for Signal at the moment.

I guess one question to ask is do you want to stay 25 series or go into a different MOS?

I've been thinking about attempting to go 25D, I'm just trying to get as much information as I can about it and what the requirements are. I would love to stay 25 Series but with all the overcrowding, it seems that I may have to go another route in the mean time. I tried to go 25S at one point, but there were no slots open. This is the issue I've been daling with since I got force reclassed from 25F.
