I am trying to learn about reclassing to 17C and was wondering what I need to do to prepare?

2023-05-10T18:02:38-04:00

I am currently a 25H (previously a 25N). I have a secret clearance, currently in classes for a degree in Computer Science, and have a Web Foundations Associate certification for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Is there anything that would stop me from being able to reclass or anything I need to worry about/prepare for?

You fit the bill of the type of Soldier they are looking for. As far as I know, they are still open regardless of what IN/OUT calls are for your current MOS.

MILPER Message 19-012* is still the latest information regarding reclassing (disregard the expiration message - the Cyber Branch still refers individuals interested in reclassing to that).

Additionally information on branch transfers, voluntary reclassification, and career field input can be found at the at the US Army Cyber School page*.
