What happens when you're dropped from airborne school, and become a hold over? Was a 37F, but required airborne. I believe I'll have to be reclassed? How long will I be stuck at Ft. Benning? Who do I need to talk to? Any info is useful, and much appreciated!

Fort Benning MPD will find a new MOS for you to reclass into. You'll be there until your new class starts, whenever that is. They'll usually give you a few to choose from

I am in a similar situation. I got injured in the 37F pipeline and instead of rehabilitation I chose to be useful somewhere else and accepted the re-class to a 92R.

I know two people that were dropped from Airborne when I attended last January. One become a 92F the other a 94H. I would look at your contract, but I am near certain it is a needs of the army re-class. Someone I know here at Bragg, who this time fell out of SFAS, chose instead to inquire with the Old Guard and is going to Fort Myer soon. I include this so as to impart the impression that there are pathways out of seemingly hopeless situations.

Don't take any of it too hard. If you really want it, keep persistent, aggressive, and uncompromising.

You can't talk to much of anyone. Service will decide what MOS you going to be, and sent to train in it-when they are ready.

You will be held and used as a gopher, you will be a LEG and someday in the big army machine, they will crank out orders to send you home or to another assignment. my question is how you are an SPC and going to school for a MOS Required school? reenlist for it? If so, you may be sent back to your previous MOS.

Where are you now I’m a 37f and I’m in the same boat. Could you let me know how it went for you?
