I am regular MDAY in the TNARNG, 91B. I am honestly getting tired or the 1 weekend a month. I would like a combat deployment, but any deployment will do. Tour of duty has specific locations I would like to deploy, but does not list my MOS. Would reclassing even be a consideration? Thank you all for your vast knowledge over the years!

We aren't at War with anyone directly at the moment. You can't apply for a deployment to a War that isn't happening. I am sure if you widen your search you could find somebody deploying that needs your MOS. I would warn against reclassing just for a deployment. That is a long term change for short term gain. Unless it is just something you wanted to do already but it's a process to reclass and get trained up so you won't immediately be deploying anyways. I would just work with your Unit to locate a NG Unit deploying that needs your MOS. That's what I would do if you want to deploy sooner rather than later

"Combat Deployments" are pretty much a thing of the past.

Reclassing can be an option, but the issue is will your unit/State approve you to reclass?

Talk with your 3 Shop to see if they know of any NG (in any State) units that are hitting the ramp and need a mechanic. There has to be at least ONE unit going to Kuwait that needs a mechanic
