How hard is it to switch branches before BOLC? My unit is very over strength and my dates keep getting cancelled and pushed back. This is causing me a lot of issues with my civilian life as my dates keeping getting cancelled last minute due to funding. I will now have to wait a year for another date. Thanks for any info on this.

Great advice so far but to reinforce it, talk to you COC. Don't keep them out of the loop but talk to your states Office Strength Manager if your NG. Your states OSM should have a good idea of what slots are available for you to slide into that are NOT over strength and then secure you a BOLC seat for that Branch. In the NG you have to do alot of footwork but remember to keep your COC in the loop!

Not hard, I was selected for quartermaster and ended up going transportation.
