Hey, I’ve been in the army National guard for 10 years (traditional guardsmen). My ETS date is September 2021. I would like to re-enlist into a new MOS. When would be the right time to start the process of re-enlisting into a new MOS? And what are some curveballs I should BOLO for?

Talk to your Retention NCO. Right about the time your window opens...which should be 1 year prior to ETS. As for curveballs for a new MOS...that's going to be: Do you qualify; Does the State have slots; Will the State pay for it; How soon can you get a class seat. etc..

You can also look into going into the Reserves as well SGT Private RallyPoint Member . Nothing says you can't switch.

You can put that into motion 12 months prior to your ETS. So, see your reenlistment NCO now.
