Since my reclass was approved, but no school seats are available, what are the chances a seat would open up in 2020?

My reclass and grade waiver were approved by prompone for 15Wt within a week but HRC says they have no seats available in 2020. I really don't wanna extend here no does my family because I'm always gone with the unit. What are the chances a seat would open up in 2020 for me to fill?

Chances are what chances are. Anyone who tells you otherwise is speculating. Either continue to request a seat once a month, or pick a different option. Chances are though, you'll be promotable or promoted by the time a seat opens up and need another grade waiver that probably won't be approved.

Obv, I have zero clue if it'd be doable at all, or, also, if you'd wanna try for it in any of the others, all I'm saying is, the spots are apparently there, so, what've you got to lose by at least asking, ya know?

SGT (Join to see) The school I'm currently waiting on has a similar issue. So many people to push through it that they now have a day shift and a night shift. Obviously, Active gets first slots, Guard/Reserve gets second shot, and prior service Guard/Reserve get bottom of the totem pole. We had one guy waiting almost 2 years and finally got dates for this coming October. One of my other flight members got lucky and filled a spot that someone dropped out of. That may be your best bet of getting in early - filling a spot that someone drops out of.
