I still have over a year left on my current contract but I'm looking to possibly reclass into CMF 35. Can anyone give me advice on the process and what to expect in either of the MOS transition courses?

I'm currently in the 35G course over here in Ft. Huachuca.
Of course you need a TS Clearance, a decent ASVAB score, and some patience.
It's a 24 week AIT, with 3 phases.
They've upped the game with some new learning materials, which doesn't make it an easy course. You'll have to be some kind of a good briefer, but as I hear in the main Army you'll typically have the foxes do that stuff for you.
I've got less than 3 weeks until graduation, and what I can say from the process is that there's a steep learning curve between phases, and there's typically a lot of pressure in making products fast, being able to cram and remember everything within your 6 months here, and be a reliable source for the GEOINT community.
PT standards aren't too bad, but between Foxes, Tangos and Golfs (the 3 mos's within the 305th MI BN) Golfs have the rough edge of it, yet it isn't as bad as I imagine a combat mos to be.
Training shouldn't be any problem compared to what you'll get after you mosQ. You'll learn much more after AIT, and get a lot more notoriety.
At the same time, your goal and mine might be a bit different. I'm trying to put in my 8 years and possibly get out to be in the NGA or something of the like.
As a Fox, they like to say they steal our promotions, but that's foreground work. A 14 week course with little to actually learn if you're going to be a mosT (as far as I can tell).
I say that for the education you should get that Golf contract, but I'm biased.

I was a 35F for 10 years and in my last MICO worked with both. 35G is doing some really interesting stuff right now. If I were to choose at this point, I'd probably go 35G.

That WAS true about us foxes. My class is the last class with PowerPoint and the new class is just about 100% analog

That's stupid^ they need to teach both. Most presentations will be done by PowerPoint unless asked otherwise or you don't have the capability to use a computer.
