I have heard you can lock in an option once you are 16 months out, but I don’t know how it would work. Is locking in an option 16 months out actually a thing? I’m currently in my first contract and deployed so I’m trying to take advantage of the tax free bonus.

The earlier the better. You&#39;re an under strength MOS so it will probably be denied, but you can keep requesting every month and there&#39;s a good chance you&#39;ll be successful SFC Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 31 Dec 2019 02:10:21 -0500 2019-12-31T02:10:21-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-i-lock-in-an-option-to-re-enlist-to-reclass-16-months-from-ets-when-my-window-opens-at-15-months?n=5397816&urlhash=5397816 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I believe you need to finish the schooling for 89B before you&#39;re able to receive the bonus. Meaning you&#39;ll no longer be in theater and it won&#39;t be tax free. Or at least from what I&#39;ve seen SSG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 31 Dec 2019 12:30:44 -0500 2019-12-31T12:30:44-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-i-lock-in-an-option-to-re-enlist-to-reclass-16-months-from-ets-when-my-window-opens-at-15-months?n=5398943&urlhash=5398943 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Try and hold out a couple more months, due to the shortage of 89B Soldiers there is the possibility of a sizable reclassification bonus.
