There is no packet to submit after the course..<br />Also, 79S has a special exception to allow under strength MOSs to reclass into it. You can still he denied, but your MOS needs to be seriously understrength.<br />However, if you have a seat in the class, it's already been approved.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 15 at 2018 1:52 AM2018-12-15T01:52:29-05:002018-12-15T01:52:29-05:002018-12-14T11:05:16-05:00
