I had a question about possibly getting back into Eod, I was an army student a year ago had a few personal issues going on in life and subsidentally failed. Is there any way to reclass back to EOD?

Once you have been at your current duty post for a year, you can see if it is possible. Be advised most of the time re-class is not approved till closed till the end of your current contract, but shortage MOS's are a different breed.

I went through the school house with soldiers that had failed out and were back to try again.

Your base should have an EOD recruiter or at least an EOD company present. Contact either about reclassing and OJT. Don't be surprised if you get resistance from your current unit CoC.

As far as I know. When I was in and you left for any reason, I mean anything " except retirement end of contract or death." You had to sign a waiver saying that you could not ever by any circumstances go back to army eod training. But you could of also been like me and ready everything and not of signed it.
