I’m currently an 11B and I was just wondering how likely it would be to reclass to 17C. I’ve seen other posts about this but the answers seem to beat around the bush. I don’t mind my current MOS and where I’m at but 17C seems like a great career, especially if I end up leaving the Army. My unit is already overstrengthed and 11B is an overstrengrethed MOS to begin with. Does anyone have a clue if it’s realistic to switch?

Over strength? Whoever told you that needs to have their head examined. It is highly UNDER strength.

11B is defiantly not over strength in fact they are understrength once again. They even have 11b up to SSG for prior service now. But 17C would be great for your career if you can pass the test and get accepted. If I was you I would defiantly look into it

It's realistic to switch. Take a look at the packet requirements. I think this is the one you have a test that's part of the packet with logic puzzles and some basic knowledge. Regardless, take a look at the packet and try to get it together. Good luck to you. 17C has great potential for after army career. I would reclass to it in a heartbeat and have been trying for years (clearance issues).
