How does the process go for an individual wanting to reclass for their reenlistment?

SFC Boyd
Thank you for your response. Based off of what you said regarding school seats, does that mean I can request a reclassification into any MOS and if they have a school seat I am able to reclass? Regardless of their In/Out calls?

In addition, I also have a fellow 92A SSG friend who is as well Airborne qualified, are they not allowed to reclass even though we are overstrength?

SSG Clint Underhill yes you can as long as it's not an over strength MOS. The rules for Voluntary Reclass are different than the rules for reclass within reenlistment. If you have 10 years from you BASD to your ETS you are a careerist and can't reclass within your reenlistment, but you can do a Voluntary reclass. For a voluntary reclass you have to move from a balanced into an under strength, or from an overstrength into a balanced or understrength MOS. If you are not a careerist you can reclass as a reenlistment option and whatever your MOS strength, you can request reclass into a balanced or understrength MOS.
Hopefully that clears it up a bit.

Seeing as how you’re a ssg the options for reclass shouldn’t be many, but as long as your current mos is over strength or balanced in the ssg in/out calls and the mos you’re trying to reclass to is under strength or balanced in the ssg bracket you should be good... be mindful, if you’re promotable you get looked at as a sfc

I appreciate that information. I believe that I read something like that very similar somewhere else. I completely understand that part of the process. Most jobs are ran successfully off of experience, not rank.

That beign said, your senior NCO's should do everything in their power to fast track you up to the school level commensurate with your rank.
