I know I'm in a good job for the civilian market, but I want to work for a DOD or HLS organization when I get out of the army. Aviation doesn't help with that.

currently 15G is No/No for SL1 so it won't be that simple. Have you talked to your reenlistment NCO yet about this? That NCO will be the one that will be able to help you the most in getting this if that is what you want.

I'm kind of curious as to why you think 12B (Combat Engineer) would help you get a job with the Department of Defense or Homeland Security? What type of work do you want to do for them?

Reclassification Tip: See your servicing Career Counselor.

Soldiers may request reclassification into CMF 18, 12D, 12P, 25D, 29E, 31D, 35L, 35Q, 37F, 38B, AND 79R (SSG ONLY) regardless of the In/Out Calls for current PMOS.

Reclassification Opportunities

An awarded MOS, especially the PMOS, represents significant time and effort, both to the Army and the Soldier. Theneeds of the Army will be the overriding factor in reclassification actions.
