Rumor has it 35Q is phasing out, how true is this? Why would they offer me this MOS and give me a bonus if they are talking about reclassify folks to 35N or 17C? Plus my AIT ends in AUG2020.
What are possible duty stations? Any overseas?

I would suggest you to drop the packet now to re-class to 17C, if you want to stay cyber. While 35N is not a bad MOS, it seems to be over-strengthened to me. 35N is pretty much 35F in SIGINT. Ask the Papa and Sierra about their experience doing a November job.

35Q is not currently being phased out and there have been no announced plans to reclass 35Q Soldiers.
You'll always hear rumors at the schoolhouse. Just remember that good idea fairies float ideas around there daily and any major changes to MOS structure take years to plan and implement, and the implementation plan usually takes 2-3 years for the transition.

I found the following document online:
https://fas.org/irp/agency/army/mipb/2019_01.pdf
The following excerpts were found on page 74 of the document linked above:
"The 17C and 35Q specialties attend identical
training and have the same work role titles, but their utilization
leads to different missions. Failure to clearly identify the
differences in the utilization of the Soldiers, training, duty titles,
and missions resulted in seemingly redundant mission
sets without any doctrine to provide clarity. "
"The MI Branch will merge the 35Q MOS with the 35N
MOS to reduce the redundancy of training and mission utilization
between the MI and cyberspace career fields. The
revisions to career tracks will provide intelligence professionals
who represent U.S. Army intelligence interests and
fulfill Army requirements from the tactical to the national
levels"

SPC (Join to see) if you read the rest of it you'll see that MOS won't phase out for 5 more years. It's another year until they intend to start the merger, and it hasn't been announced yet (MILPER Message), so it's still not a plan, just talking points on a branch newsletter. It could very easily be pushed another year before being started. Once begun, an MOS phase out takes 3 years to accomplish.

35Qs ARE in fact being phased out. Automatic reclass to 35N and go to their AIT, or choose another MOS and drop a packet.
