What is the process, from beginning to end, on reclassifying to 11B?

Infantry school? Lol pretty sure you’ll be headed back to basic in good ol Benning

I only know this because I used to be a Mod on another Military website for Army and ARNG, and this might have changed since 2005-2008 period so you might want to review the other answers. There are two different paths depending on how your state budgets for this. One you can reclassify the cheap way which means your sent to a 2-3 week National Guard Infantry reclassification course and in that case you will never see Ft. Bennning. Second way is they will cut you into OSUT at some week or cycle and that determination is made once you arrive at Ft. Benning. They will ask you questions such as the last time you qualified on a weapon and they will also give you a PT test. Then they will make the decision on when to start you. Somewhat rare for you to start in the first week of OSUT but it is a possibility, usually they will start you in Week 2 or 3. If your weapons qualification is current and recent it will be after OSUT weapons qualification week.............thats if your remaining NG If your.going Active Duty Army......nobody really cares about costs or state budgets, and you will probably start at the very close to the beginning of Infantry OSUT (especially since your SPC rank denotes it's probably been 3 years since your last AIT on a Federal post). So that is the difference.

BTW, thought I would pop your bubble a little. For that brief and very short adrenaline rush you pay for it in massive and mundane repetitive training and yes even some BS. An ARNG unit is not as bad as a Regular Army unit when it comes to mundane and repetitive training. I've bee in both. ARNG doesn't have a lot of time to blow so usually their training is fairly no nonsense. Regular Army has nothing but time to blow, so unless your in an Army Airborne Corps unit or Ranger or Special Forces. Your going to find that Regular Army Infantry units don't always have you occupied 24 by 7 with realistic training and there are these long periods of nothingness where your forced to contemplate your future and past decisions.

If you are staying in the NG, most likely, you will go to the 2 week wonder Infantry transition course. Unfortunately, you will be ripped off as far as training because I never got how you can be re-classed Infantry in 2 weeks when active duty is much longer. If you were active duty, you would probably go to Ft. Benning and be inserted into an OSUT company sometime after week 8 or 9, whenever they consider them to be in the AIT portion. I taught this course many years with the Arkansas National Guard, and it was crazy as it applies to everyone (at the time anyway), regardless of service or MOS. We had prior service from several of the services, they enlisted in the Arkansas NG as 11B, and went to the 2 week wonder course, and viola! Infantry MOS.
