If it's on the BEAR program, it shouldn't be an issue.

Yes. But your unit has to do the paperwork. my second enlistment I was with 3/5 Cav and reclassified from infantry to Cook. For better job prospects. But I OJT'd as a cook and it was then my secondary MOS, but I worked in my secondary MOS since no cooks were expected for a long time.

Also put in a DA 4187 and check the block Reclassification.

Soldiers can reclassify at any time they are NOT within their reenlistment window, provided they qualify for the MOS the Soldier wants to reclassify into. The Soldier's current MOS must be overstrength (N/Y) and the new MOS must be understrength (Y/N). Certain application MOS' can be applied for at any time, regardless of In and Out-Call requirements. I have personally been able to reclass out of a Balanced MOS and into another Balanced MOS. But those are case-by-case basis. See your BN Career Counselor.

Go from an over strength M.O.S to an under strength M.O.S. That's how I went from 11C to 13F. Of course that was in 1978. Good luck.
