They're changing MTOE for what positions get a TS. They are not handing out TS clearances anymore - in fact they are auditing TS clearances to see who has one and still needs one. However I do know how S2 works - and security clearances are changing. They actually asked us 35Fs if we wanted to reclass to cyber. I was at Cyber Command when it stood up (actually when it was still JFCC-NW) and they were begging for people there. SSG (Join to see) - I won't speak to what's going on with cyber now. Most likely the next MOS you pick will have slower promotions than your current one. You’re almost a SSG, you’ll head off to your broadening assignment shortly and be picking up SFC a few years down the road. However, you are better off staying in your current MOS. Check back often because new class seats get loaded constantly. But the class seat you get may be a year or two away. You do not have to go into application MOS. Your Career Counselor can lock you in for a balanced or under strength MOS that you qualify for that has a class seat. Your ETS date is November 2021, which makes you an FY22 ETS. If the Army has enough Soldiers in one job, it’s not going to reclass Soldiers into it. The Army reclass process runs off of Army strengths. You also can’t be a CMF15 or CMF68 (except 68V) because of your rank. You can’t be a 31K because there are never class seats. Application means you have to apply and the proponent accepts you. You can’t be a 17C because you have no experience. Once again, you are in no rush right now and I would hold out for the MOS's on your list. Luckily, I made some calls to USASOC and got assigned to 2/1st SFG, which was a blast! So, as much as you dislike 91B, there are ways to get more out of the MOS depending on the assignment. Less than a month later, the damn MOS was available and I missed it. I wanted to reclass to UAV operator from 92A (I was done with that job), but it never came up, so I reup for Ft. Trust me, I was in the same exact situation you are in back in 2003. Going over to SOF support (Rangers, SF, 160th, CAG, etc.) can be rewarding for you if you have no problem being in a fast paced unit. You gotta hustle for what you want and if the MOS you prefer doing doesn't pop up, you can look at staying 91B and seek a special assignment.ĭon't entertain the thought of getting out without a proper plan because it is hectic right now in the civilian world.

You really do not have to rush anything and I would give it time to get into an MOS that you really want. Determine what your cut off time is for reclass and stay on top of any updates. I would recommend that you continue to research your options for a new MOS that interests you before making any snap judgements.
