If I join the Army after serving in the Navy for 8 years (an e4) what is the likelyhood I will be advanced before my retention date (10 years. That leaves me with 16 months)? I was thinking about converting from HM to 92Y. Also, the retention/HYT/TIS is all the same across the board right?
I have talked to a couple recruiters about this, but I want to see what you guys think.

Assuming you're Navy time is active duty time, our RCP (you call it HYT) is already 8 years for a non promotable E4 and 10 years for a promotable E4. So, you would need an exception to policy. The Army isn't going to enlist you for only 2 years, 3 is more realistic. Three years is plenty of time to advance in a critical shortage MOS. You probably won't get 92Y because it's not a shortage MOS. The Army already has to make an exception to access you and if they put you in a non critical shortage MOS there is no guarantee you would make the next rank in time. You'll be limited to whatever they're offering that day.

Not only is 92Y not a shortage MOS, unless Im looking at an outdated in/out call document, SL1 92Y MOS is critically OVER strength..
Id be very surprised if anyone short of an MEB offer can re class or come in from prior service as a SL1 92Y right now and that is with no waivers

Well, I appreciate the responses. The recruiter said they would take me with 2 years. I'm active (all of my time is active). Though, that is just the recruiter talking.
I was saying 92y mostly because it was one of the options on the form that he gave me (couldn't tell you what it was called).

Business Rules will apply to your transition and you most likely will not be given the option not to be a Combat Medic as we are currently under strength at the moment.

Correction: you will most likely be a Combat Medic as the option to reclassify will not be available due to current strengths of 68Ws and the over strength of 92Y
