So I have a issue with reclasssing. I'm a 68W and I talked to my retention NCO about reclassing into a 25V and he told me Its available, but their is no seats available at this moment. So is their anything I can do with higher up like would a DA4187 from my commander help speed up the process. Is their someone I can contact on HRC for the 25V management team? Is it just a waiting game? I have a year left at my current duty station so I don't mind waiting. Just want to see if I can do anything on my part to move it along?

No, there is nothing that you, your CO, BC, BDE CDR or CG can do to "speed up the process" or make a seat appear in an MOS school.
MOS seat priority (99%) goes to IET.
The rest go to reclass contracts.
You contract for reclass, and you are guaranteed to get the first available seat that they can get for you.

Your Retention NCO worded it incorrectly. It's "available" meaning the job may need people to fill it. But no Active Duty job is available if their isn't a class seat. If there is no class seat you are not reclassing into it. As SGM (Join to see) very accurately pointed out, the majority (like 90%) of open class seats go to IET and the remainder go to reclass. Of those reclass, the Active Duty and USAR/ARNG have to split them up.

You're probably never going to go into MOS 25V in the Active Duty. If you do, you probably won't make it past E5. If you find a spot to join the Reserve Component as a 25V, you will probably attend training 2-3 years from now. That's just the brutal truth of it all. Pick a different job, or pick several different jobs you are willing to take
