I ask you to not worry about the leave (you will typically have at least 90 days stabilization post deployment for reintegration before any schooling/PCS'ing)...but focus and chose wisely on your next career move - if you are married, please include your spouse in the decision so they understands the expectations involved in the change of career paths...some MOS's are limited on where you can be assigned....make sure your GT score is at 115 or higher so you can have options available for MOS and unit assignments.

If your career counselor doesn't have time for you, I'd encourage you to speak with the leadership - and if that doesn't work, let me know, I have the RUNNER UP 2014 Department of the Army Career Counselor of the Year in my BN....he enjoys helping Soldiers!

If reclass involves a school the class convening date would be an issue other than I'm not sure........
