Should I wait to put in an E5 packet until after I go to school for food specialist, or drop it before? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/should-i-wait-to-put-in-an-e5-packet-until-after-i-go-to-school-for-food-specialist-or-drop-it-before <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Here's the background, I had to go through a MMRB. Four years later I finally get the MAR2 results I am retainable but I have to reclass the only option immediately open to me is Food service. By the old scale I had 900+ promotion points, by the new scale I must have at least 600+ not sure exactly. Already have SSD1 completed, will get a slot for WLC after I finish MOS school in Feb./Mar. My chain of command says wait till I come back from school then they put me into the Mess Sgt. slot then go to WLC. I think they are afraid I either won't get it or will be forced to leave the unit to get it. What is everybodies thoughts?
