Does anyone have any advice on reclassing to 15E?

I'm in my window for reenlistment and I've made the decision to go and build a better skill set for my post Army life. Right now I'm a 13F, any advice I can get would be greatly appreciated.

I am a 15W UAV Operator. Most of the maintainers I know like their job. You have to be good at using log books to annotate any and all work you've done on the aircraft as well as check when upcoming maintenance needs to be completed.

As far as the school goes you will be at Ft Huachuca for 3-5 months and you will have to stay in the barracks due to it not being a PCS move because it's under 6 months. The Barracks you will be in though are separate from initial AIT Privates (about a mile away).

There will be great opportunities to make warrant but the chances of really rising as a senior NCO may be limited

I can tell you that Fort Huachuca sucks, but the MOST is worth it. I have only been in the Army a little over a year but the things I've learned are awesome and you'll never stop learning. This is a very cool MOS, with a great civilian job after (if you plan to be a civilian) I'm very happy with my MOS. I hope I made a good impression. Good luck!
