If they have a critical manning need in that AFSC, they may re-accept you.

There a lot of members here with some deep career experience that might've seen this happen. I agree with <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="179577" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/179577-46ax-nurse-administrator-60-ipts-60-mdg">Col Private RallyPoint Member</a>, it really comes down to the needs of the Air Force and how much your functional and leadership wants to work with you. <br /><br />A few months back, I tried to get a thread going with members that might have some similar cross-training stories to share. <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="81122" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/81122-sfc-james-baber">SFC James Baber</a> was kind enough to lend some past experience here. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d26horl2n8pviu.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/001/284/qrc/fb_share_logo.png?1443019116"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/has-anyone-cross-trained-to-another-mos-or-afsc">Have you cross-trained to another MOS or AFSC? | RallyPoint</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">Really curious to know how this works in each of the service branches.&amp;nbsp; What&#39;s the application process like?

It is a very rare occurrence, kind of like seeing Big Foot or the Lochness Monster. Once an Airman washes out unless the AF reaches critical manning shortfalls AND your current AFSC is wiling and able to let you go, then and only then with the approval of your current Commander can that re-application take place. But again, highly unlikely. 1stSgt Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 05 Apr 2016 07:00:14 -0400 2016-04-05T07:00:14-04:00 Response by TSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 6 at 2016 6:41 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-previously-washed-out-of-an-afsc-would-i-be-eligible-to-go-back-into-that-afsc-when-my-window-opens?n=1432940&urlhash=1432940 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you could and I was a case in point TSgt Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 06 Apr 2016 06:41:08 -0400 2016-04-06T06:41:08-04:00 Response by TSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 6 at 2016 6:42 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-previously-washed-out-of-an-afsc-would-i-be-eligible-to-go-back-into-that-afsc-when-my-window-opens?n=1432943&urlhash=1432943 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you could. I was a case in point. You are eligible to retrain during your window into any field you want. Finding that desired field open would be the hardest thing.

Several factors are at play. However, the best answer resides at the personnel office and your AFSC functional manager. Good luck.
