I’ve been in my first duty station for 2 1/2 months as a 92G. I don’t think my MOS is helping me out and I’m not learning any skills that’ll help me out later.

Mostlikely you will have to serve 12 moths in your current MOS. Ask to speak to your Battalion Career Counselor for further details. If your GT and line scores are below 110, I would suggest you to visit the education and enrolling on the GT improvement. Finally, ensure that you don’t have any flags or pending UCMJ when you visit Retention.

Lopez, I don't know what you want for your future, but if you want to be a cook, be an AWESOME cook. A good mess sergeant is worth his weight in gold to the troops. You've only been doing your job for a few months so you still have a lot of room to grow. Find a mentor who really seems to know his way around the kitchen and learn all that you can from him. You might also want to see if there are any civilian culinary schools in your area. If cooking isn't for you then I suggest you follow SGM Jaramillo's advice. Good luck.

The answer is not a simple yes or no. The requirements for reclassification can be found in AR 614-200 3-17, bottom line see your Career Counselor, they will be able to let you know where you stand at this point and what you need to do moving forward.
