I am currently a Lab tech in the Navy (L31A) and I am trying to submit a packet to go to WOFT with the Army. I've hit a wall with the Conditional Release with my NEC. I have already reached out to recruiters and talked to my chain of command but it seems like this sort of thing is unheard of. I'm open to any suggestions or helpful tips!

New breed of WO Recruiters I guess. When I commanded them (2010-2012) my team sure took a chunk from the sister services. It was a win-win since got a bunch of great quality candidates and for the other services a venue to offer to those with exceptional potential.

I personally initiated contact with various sister service installation IOT coordinate WO Recruiting Briefings. My POCs were the career senior counselors at the respective installations. Extremely supportive and exponentially knowledgeable. Perhaps, you should talk with yours and pick their brains?

You should look in the Navy enlisted separations regulation, they almost certainly have a section on EAS/ETS to accept a commission. You can also reach out to a WOCS recruiter for help. Your command isn't required to support your conditional release

SFC, I found several different regulations but nothing is specific for this case, it seems to be a case by case basis unfortunately.

Def contact Nearest WO Recruiter. Hopefully it's different for going to WOCS, but the Navy has stopped all enlisted to enlisted swaps. Sailors can't even go SF or PSYOP without a full EAS first.
