I’m looking at getting back in but I may not get the job I want (needs of the army). So the recruiter said I could go back in as an MP and reclass during my ETS window... I don’t believe him.

Wait it out if you can man. Who knows You may like being an MP or hate it to the point you don’t re-enlist.

You could reclass at your next reenlistment window, but there are more class seats available to the recruiting side than the reclass side. You don't even have to be near your ETS, you can reclass once you are on station one year. It really just depends what you want to reclass into.

How easy is it to reclass at the time of reenlistment?

I suggest you research armyreenlistment.com. You’ll need to wait it out until your reenlistment window opens up (15 months prior to ETS). At which point, your options open up and reclassifying out of your PMOS would be no problem....Option 3: the Army Training Reenlistment Option. Unbalanced MOS’s like Crypto-Linguists and anything communications related would work out best, but any MOS is possible. If none of this sounds appealing, then you can try your luck with one of the application MOS’s. Stay vigilant and make that Recruiter work for you. Regardless of prior service, the Army needs people like you and will work to keep you as well. God speed.

35 series... although I’m prior service I’m not subjected to the business rules because I was national guard and have only 1 year active duty (deployment). But the word around the office is they are offering 88m, 11b, or something like that to most prior service joes

SPC Devin Young that's pretty easy to put you into on the Active Duty side once you have your clearance. Clearance takes the longest part actually. This is assuming you have the line scores (and DLAB for 35M). Of course, class dates are filled well until 2021 for most of them and your recruiter isn't allowed tk keep you in DEP longer than a year so they can't offer you a class seat in 2021.

So, you can wait around as a civilian for a year or two, or join, start wk9on your clearance and get one of those school seats that pop up for reclass.

As a prior service you are subject to USAREC's Business Rules, a HRC generated document telling USAREC what MOSs are available to prior service; regarded of what branch they previously served. In essence, the Army tells those who served, got out, and want to come back into active duty, "here is what's for you, take it or leave it!" Priority goes to whatever your prior MOS is. Unless things have changed, recruiters don't get much credit for bringing in prior service and for the Army, the view is that you are the one in need of them, not the other way around; that's preserved for non-prior service prospects.

So, at this moment you can either go as an MP, which you are already MOSQ and wont cost a penny to Uncle Sam to retrain you, or "take a knee" and wait until there is something else the Army might be willing to retrain you. Is all up to you and all options are valid in my playbook.

Best of lucks on your future endeavors!

You’re recruiter is full of it dude lol.... a have a lot of battles that were mp’s got out and when they went to Meps, all they had to offer was 88m... I was an 88N in the Marines and when I hopped over my options were 92F, 91B, 88M and 13B the part that you cAn reclass during your ets window is true, but also depends on a variety of things.... if you were yo get promoted or even pick up your “P” status could affect that... think if you just want to get back in, I would rejoin and pick from whatever mos’ they have and try to reclass... embrace the suck haha
