Currently a 74D and I really don't like being CBRN as it doe not relate to my civilian career at all now. Wanting to reclass to a 68J ( Medical Logistics ) but there aren't any available slots for me in LITTLE ROCK or surrounding areas any suggestions on what to do ? or is this just a waiting game I have to play while being a reservist ?

68 J is an over strength mos . I wouldn’t recommend it. I am one now currently it’s hard to progress for one and two there aren’t many options for reenlistment

As others have said don’t do it. I’m a j now and primor potential doesn’t go past 6 or 7. The MOS is so full they were for a while forcing reclass to active duty and started for reservists. Honestly I would recommend 68a it’s a long school but in the civilian side it’s very lucrative.

If you are a Reservist, you can be reimbursed up to $500 for travel to and from BA each month. If you find a unit where that wouldn't be you inconvenient, go for it. There's also IMA units, which group their IDT together so you're only travelling a few times a year. The other iron is WIAS which are similar to IMA and because they're relatively new they need personnel.
When a slot opens up locally, you'll already be trained, you can transfer back.

From my most recent understanding, all 68J will be reclassed /rolled up into 92Y. The 68J will become an ASI. There is no reason to even attempt to reclass as a J

The problem is 68J is an over strength MOS you’d have to pull some strings somewhere to make that happen

Why not reclass to be a 92Y (Unit Supply) instead of 68J? You'll probably have a much easier time finding an available slot as a 92Y vs. being a 68J.

I would consider other MOSs right now since as time goes on AMEDD will downsizing the number of MOSs in the medical CMFs. 68J will be one of them. 68W is getting a lot of these guys so I’d look into that

Unfortunately this will be a waiting game for you. If you’ve done everything possible devoid moving to whole other state to get the job you want you will have to wait for a slot to open up for that MOS. Best of luck.
