Can you reclass to Infantry in the NG after MEPS but before basic training?

I was a tank turret mechanic when I first joined the Guard. Lasted about two and a half years before I realized I would be happy unless I went Infantry. So I went to the Army recruiter and went airborne Infantry. So if you really want to be Infantry talk to your recruiter and tell him/her. The thing with the Guard is they already have you slotted against a position so you need to make the switch ASAP. That is because the state has to have an open Infantry slot to put you in. They may play hardball so be ready to push back just as much. Good luck.

Yes you can contact your recruiter he will help you. I almost did this my self

Re-class is normally an option only during your last 12 months of contract- or if the MOS is critically short. 11B is not a shortage MOS, so the chances are about 0, and they have slotted you were they felt the need and your qualifications.

I can see by your post you're not really sure what you want, I'll tell you this: if you really want to be an infantryman than go for it, but just know it's going to be extremely challenging and demanding. If you truly believe that is what you want then go for it.

Yes, but it is not called a reclass if you have not shipped yet. It is just called a renegotiation of your contract.

If I remember correctly you can still back out of your contract up until basic training. (CHECK ON THAT BEFORE BRINGING IT UP.) So do what COL (Join to see) said and talk to your recruiter. If he says no, ask him about backing out altogether. If you can do that, you could theoretically just start the whole process over and ask for 11B. But like COL Harris said, there has to be an 11B slot open. Don't go in with threats. Just ask about the possibilities.

Best bet is to talk to the recruiter. Since you don’t leave until June then you may have a chance to switch jobs without it being a reclass cause you’re not technically skilled at anything but civilian life yet.

Give yourself some time doing your first choice, then if you decide it's not your cup of tea, go for a different MOS.

Talk to your recruiter. Because you haven’t shipped yet you should still be able to make some alterations to your contract. As long as you’re not backing out entirely they should work with you. If not when you get to Ft Lost in the Woods and you’re in the 43rd AG Reception battalion you can talk to the NG liaison and see if they will let you reclass. If they do let you it’ll only be a one time thing, so you better be very sure than 11b is what you really want.

Yes! Go talk to your recruiter they will hate it but yes and you will get another ship date!
