How do I find an MOS that is over strength or under strength in my state?

I am in the guard, I do not have access to a government computer but would like to know what MOS's in my state are currently under strength? I have been pursuing a degree and would like to possibly seek a reclass to an MOS more in line with my studies.

Contact your Retention NCO

I see you tagged OHARNG. If you’re Guard it doesn’t go by MOS strength, it goes by unit strength. If you want to reclass you’ll have to talk to your retention NCO. If you’re transitioning from active to Guard, I’d contact a Guard recruiter in whatever state you’re shooting for.

Chest with the TAG office (not the actual TAG) or retention NCO. Try them first

Start with the S1 shop in your Battalion. They should have an answer, but if not, they definitely should know which office to contact. You could also try your friendly National Guard recruiter...cuz, well, they are doing their darndest to fill those pesky understrength MOSs.

You could ask to see if there's some type of open vacancy report. My state publishes them once a month or so.
