Can I change my MOS with the right amount of cross training?

Hey everyone! Since I joined the Army and arrived at my first unit I have been cross trained as a 15E (unmanned aerial vehicle maintainer), but I'm a 15G (aircraft structural repairer). So for the past 5 years I have worked under this MOS and even became a unit trainer teaching new soldiers how to do their job. I enjoy this MOS but am having a hard time voluntarily reclassing towards it. I was wondering if there was any documentation or regulations that govern cross training and what requirements need to be met to claim a secondary MOS or even just switch my primary MOS from 15G to 15E. Any help towards the right direction would be greatly appriciated!

You would have to contact the MOS proponent - not the branch manager. Only the proponent can waive MOS requirements like school. If he gives you an acceptance memo, you take that to the Career Counselor who will request a Reclass without training. HRC will make the decision, based on the strengths of the MOSs, if they will allow you to reclass.

I have seen a cook go to Ranger School. They awarded him 11B as a secondary MOS. Then all he did was a 4187 to switch his primary and secondary MOS. But he still had an official Army school that he had to attend.
