I'm nearing my window to Reclass, and have put immense though and research into 17C, but what are the inherent risks of choosing that MOS?
My concerns and assumptions are: What happens if I sign the 4 plus year contract (estimated), and then fail the initial requirements (i.e Polygraph, The Questionnaire) or any other part of the 44 week AIT?
A lot can happen in 44 weeks, and I know many people that fail some part of other MOSs requirements prior to graduation or simply get the short end of the stick and are forced to reclass to an understrength MOS like 19D, which I don't want another 4 years doing.
I would like to talk to any 17C personally, if any are willing to allocate time to assist with this decision.

Most times if you already have a MOS and fail, you’ll just go back to your original MOS. I’d say it’s worth the risk though.

If your current MOS is that bad then reclass to something that you think you can pass for sure. And the risk is the fact that you’d keep your current MOS that you do not like. I’m currently a 92A, do not care for my job either, so I re enlisted to get a new MOS. To me, it’s worth the risk of possible failure. However, if a lot of joes can get through the MOS training with zero Army/Job experience, I like my chances. SGT (Join to see)

SSG Clint Underhill This is true... All valid points, and I do agree that the odds are in my favor, I just like to know the risks so I can better mitigate them.

I get it completely. I’m the same way, a planner! But good things in life often come with risk. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. SGT (Join to see)

SSG Clint Underhill Also true, and I am a firm believer of a similar premise; Life begins outside your comfort zone, so why try to avoid venturing beyond the mundane.
