Why would I be sent to PA for 7 weeks when I am reclassifying to 68W and have a class date this summer?

I am currently reclassing to 68W and have a class date in early July. But instead of going to Ft. Sam Houston for 16 weeks, they are sending me to PA for 7 weeks. There are some concerns I'm scheduled for the wrong class. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Yes, it is a 68W MOS-T class taught by the PA ARNG.
There are 22 active duty TDY enroute reclass in your class.
Active Component uses ARNG MOS-T and PME classes every month.
You're booked in the correct class.

As others have pointed out, the PA ARNG MBTS runs a MOS-T. It is much more cost effective then a seat in the entire initial MOSQ course and to be honest, the better option for you as well being "prior service". I attended the 16 week course when I reclassified and was a junior NCO. It was my third formal MOS course and there was so much unnecessary extra activities that we, as not only experienced in non MOS specific details like drill and ceremony and such that it was truly a pain in the 4th POC. From knowing the MBTS staff and how they function, you will also get much better training and exposure. Not to knock the DCMT staff at Ft Sam but they have a ton of students and some of the Cadre may or not have as much experience as the PA MBTS staff. Most of them have many combat deployments under thier belt and some of the older staff there actually help write the 68W POI. Past Cadre there actually won the Best Medic competition a few years ago as well. Top notch course to attend.

AIT seats are very hard to come by on Active Duty, so we get a few of them from the National Guard schools as well. You are going to go to Fort Indiantown Gap. It's not the wrong class. It is an accelerated program that the NG has for people who are already MOS qualified. As a former 68W, after you get your EMT cert knocked out, you could learn everything you need to know about being a medic in 3-4 weeks.

Awesome. Question for you. For family medical reasons, I'm trying g to get into the class at the end of this month. I know it's a snowball's chance. But is there anything I can do. I've been all through my bn, atrrs, and now waiting on HRC.

CPL (Join to see) no you cannot. You can't even get your PCS follow on assignment, orders, and DD1610 in that time.
You get the earliest class seat available to you. HRC doesn't load classes within 90 days of reenlistment because you won't make it to training. Once you're locked into a class you aren't authorized to request a different class seat.
