I am currently serving as a 25S (Satellite Communications specialist), I want to stay in the Army but do not wish to serve in this MOS. This is my first term however my MOS is listed as under strengthed (Y/N). I was told by my retention that my only options are packet MOSs or stay in my current MOS. I need help finding solid options.

15W and 15E are undermanned as well. (Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operator(W) or Maintainer (E)) If you get Gray Eagle (MQ-1C) they even use SATCOM, so you'd have some knowledge of how it works. UAS are the wave of the future, they have skills that translate to the civilian world, fast promotion rates. Join us, won't you?

So far i have attempted to Join Special Forces however i did not pass Selection, I have talked to other Military Branch Recruiters about switching branches upon my Army ETS, but would rather stay in the army if i can help it (due to the fact most branches would want me to retain my current MOS). I looked into the options of going green to gold however, I do not think being an officer is for me. Is there any other options out there.

I want to say thank you for spelling out your MOS. What do you find distasteful about your MOS?

That is correct due to your MOS being listed as Overstrength, you are limited to 2 options. Regular Army for 2 years of Army Training. Things we look at when counseling soldiers like you is a variety of things but in this case I would look at your line scores, clearance type and screen you for possible packet MOS. These MOS are critical in the Army and also require you to apply according to their specific guidance. Once approved we would send up the request if you are in the reenlistment window. We can go for an hour just talking about how to help you.
