Prior service 11B here. Conditional Release approved from ARNG. What’s the chances of reclassing?

I understand needs of the army, prior service business rules, and in/out calls. I just want to know the chances. Slim to none? Sh* out of luck? I’m ok with staying infantry as long as I get a decent unit. What’s a unit with decent leadership? I would just rather learn a new skill set and possibly do 20 in intel.

If you are completely out and wanting to come back in, job availability will be determined by what is open and what you qualify for on the day you go to MEPS. Going from Guard or Reserves to Active Duty, the same principles apply. It's all going to depend on what is open and what you qualify for. Your Recruiter and MEPS may try and keep you Infantry....but if that isn't what you want and something better is open that you qual for....

Just did this process. It’s based on what they have available that you qualify for. Bring a list of what jobs you’d want, worst case they say no, you stay infantry and then they lift off the bases available with a specialist slot and you choose which base you go to, you don’t pick the unit.

That’s up to the MEPS and what the Army needs and has class seats for that day. You can always apply for 35L no matter what MOS you’re in.
Favorite units I’ve heard from most people are 75th, 82nd, 101st, 173rd, 4/25th 10th MTN. Basically anything 18th Airborne Corps
