How accurate is the course catalog on ATTRS?

I've Been Trying to Reclass for Over 6 months now. I have been told twice a week every week there are 0 class seats for the plethora of MOS's I'm interested in. Someone directed me to ATTRS course catalog and there are class seats within range. Does retention operate on a different system or is ATRRS precise?

You just aren't understanding what ATRRS is telling you. The course catalog tells you when the class is, the prerequisites, and how many seats there are. What you don't see is that ATRRS courses have quotas. Class seats are a finite resource. They are divvied up to different groups with 95% of those class seats going to Recruiters. Many MOS's never release ANY class seats to reclass, or only release a couple of class seats a year.

Your Career Counselor is using the correct information to display the the available class seats we can take. The simple fact is that there just are not a lot and the one you want will probably be gone from one of the other 1000 Career Counselors in the Army working hard to get their Soldiers a new MOS. If you want to reclass, either open yourself to more MOS possibilities or make yourself more eligible for other MOS's by raising your scores and getting a clearance. Otherwise you're just one of ten thousand other Soldiers trying to get one single class seat
