Coming out of active duty in March of next year, and already have my unit information and such when it comes to the Guard and such. Haven't made contact due to the amount of time between now and then, so I'm reaching out here to see what others have to say. Anything helps, and I appreciate all that ya'll provide.

What's the process of the reclass, and what should I expect in such a unit? Will I be going to Ft. Moore and joining an ongoing OSUT class, or is there a separate program/location I'll be attending? I'm guessing I'll be on active pay during the process, so should I expect to be getting BAH/BAS for my wife and child? Should I reach out to my unit and try and get ahead of the curve in preparation for their training style and such?

I believe NG mos reclass is 2wks. As for what to expect you know already. Expect change, and a LOT depends on your state and the unit you select, and where they are in their life cycle. In TX we have airborne infantry elements so that is always an option.

Thanks for continuing to serve!

When talking to the contractor getting my paperwork done up, he informed me there were no spots available for the airborne unit unfortunately, even for 11B. Though I found it kinda hard to believe, I took it on the chin and just chose the armory closest to where I'll be living. But, if there are any spots, I honestly wouldn't mind the drive as long as I can keep jumping. I'm also open to reclassing to a needed MOS in such units if it comes down to it. Put in thought, and wouldn't mind being a rigger if it's an option. But, it seems only time will tell now. Mostly expecting to go down to the border as soon as I report.

I am currently the NCOIC of pay for that mission. GO!!!!! You will not regret it.

Also, I am surprised about the airborne answer. Once you are settled, look me up on the global locator and send me an email and I will see what I can do to get you in touch with the right people.

It's definitely something I'm more than willing to go and get into, I grew up in a town that has been experiencing the whole ordeal.

I'll reach out once I'm acquainted with them, cause I want to keep jumping. The drive is in no way an issue if it means I get to do what I love. Appreciate the help 1SG!

In the Guard as a 19D, you will probably do a 3 week 11B Reclass course. The one I am familiar with was at Ft. Pickett, but I'm an old timer and the locations may have changed. Talk to the Guard recruiter, he can get you the current status.
