<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't know if policies have changed or if 15W has a different policy set, but aviation fields used to not want re-class personnel in grades E-4(P) and above. Learning such a widely different job while trying to lead others in that job is a pain in the rear. (Yes I know this from experience.)SSG Trevor S.Thu, 01 Dec 2016 10:48:53 -05002016-12-01T10:48:53-05:00Response by SSG(P) Auston Terry made Dec 6 at 2016 2:58 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The opposite is largely true; there are often reclass slots open. This is a high turnover MOS. Slots for straight reclass into the U5 course are rare now but as long as there are "in" calls you will be able to reclass.SSG(P) Auston TerryTue, 06 Dec 2016 14:58:43 -05002016-12-06T14:58:43-05:00Response by WO1 Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 7 at 2016 1:41 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm a little late responding to this but, I was in your same position. You have to get a waiver from the aviation branch to reclass. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rucker.army.mil/usaace/directorates/cdid/opfd/iw_enlisted.html">http://www.rucker.army.mil/usaace/directorates/cdid/opfd/iw_enlisted.html</a><br />You will need to get a class IV(4) flight physical, a 4187 that summarizes why you want to switch to that job, your ERB, a JPAS printout, and your PHA must be current/ within the last 12 months. I was told that not many people get in that are in the grade of SGT. If you get the waiver approved getting a class seat will be your next major obstacle. There are only a couple of authorized slots for MOS-T guys and that is split between Army, Guard, and the other Branches Marines/Navy. <br /> If you are serious about switching send me a PM and I will see what I can do to help. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It all depends on the class schedule and how many slots are available. I was in a class with only 3 MOS-T, but the class behind me had 10.SSG Private RallyPoint MemberWed, 28 Dec 2016 01:17:52 -05002016-12-28T01:17:52-05:00Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 15 at 2017 9:41 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well 15W was 96U when I was in but from what I did in AIT was as long as you can pay attention and hold onto information you'll be fine in AIT. As for seats it was pretty full. But for SGTs it may be difficult. There's not many spaces available for SGTs when I was in but that could of changedSGT Private RallyPoint MemberSun, 15 Jan 2017 21:41:29 -05002017-01-15T21:41:29-05:00Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 21 at 2017 4:02 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I reclass in August 2017 to 15W. It was kinda of challenging to get a seat, but if you have a good career counselor you should be able to get a seat. If you have any questions, just ask.SSG Private RallyPoint MemberTue, 21 Feb 2017 19:12:30 -05002017-02-21T19:12:30-05:00Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made May 24 at 2017 4:02 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm in the school now. Former 11B as well. The school seats vary with the platform. Having no UAS experience you'll probably be shadow. But seats for shadow are in high demand right now. Youll get it ypull probably jist have to wait.SGT Private RallyPoint MemberSat, 22 Jul 2017 14:45:01 -04002017-07-22T14:45:01-04:00Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 13 at 2020 3:15 PM
