Lol you may want to actually want to find out what these jobs are before rattling off random MOSs. 79S is a career counselor, you have to be an NCO. Most of these jobs have rank restrictions and requirements you don't qualify for. There are worse jobs than yours, so I would caution you against the "anything but this job" mindset
Who did you ask about Reclass? Do you know who handles Reclass? I ask this because it's a good Army lesson. Always go to the source. If you had gone to the source you would get only one answer
In this case, Reclass is always handled by your career counselor. You should always check the source because things like Reclass policies change constantly based on Army needs. Three months ago the answer was you couldn't Reclass. Right now, you are allowed to request to reclass into a different MOS if you are an initial term soldier up for reenlistment. HRC will decide based on your MOS and the one you ask for, if they will approve it. A good rule of thumb is that the higher the bonus, the more in demand the MOS.
