I want to join the Army as a 17c but the job is not currently available. Does anybody know when the job will be available?

There’s no real guess on when it will open up. Especially since I’m not a recruiter but we’re super undermanned in the MOS so if it is something you really want I’d say wait for it. It’s worth it. Don’t enlist for something to please your recruiter or to hope you might be able to reclass. Hold out and get the job you want.

Wait it out, dont take a job you dont want. There is no guarantee when you get to whatever unit you go to that your COC will support you turning in a packet. If you're passionate about 17C and the cyber operations, you'll go far. Dont let anyone pressure you.

If the job isn't available then I would suggest enlisting as anything with a short MOS AIT, like infantry, cook, supply, or any of the other 8 week AIT's. Once you are at your duty station you can apply for 17C and go to the course. 17C is always taking applications for reclass. If you are worried about not being accepted into 17C from the active duty side, and your packet isn't strong enough to be competitive to be selected, then you probably wouldn't have passed the course. But if you have experience in cyber or programming, then your packet should be competitive and you will have no issue getting selected for the course. We always have 17C class seats on the active duty side.
