My ETS date is upon me and I was attempting to reclass but there are 0 class seats available at the moment. I am willing to extend to see if anything opens up but not for a substantial amount of time. The guard has spots open and i dont want to miss that opportunity given the wait could be a year or so. My retention is of minimal help and only assists solders "Who's mind is made up", verbatim. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What MOS are you attempting to reclass into? There are some excellent retention folks on the site that can give you a better idea of the expected wait time for a class seat to open if you list the MOS in your original question.

In order to reclass, I was forced to extend for a year.. but I had a seat already. So I'd be pretty sure that you would extend for a year to find a seat, and then have to extend another year to attend.. depending on how soon a seat opens up.. but time flys when you're having fun

Do not leave active duty for national guard just to switch your MOS. This is a job you'll be doing for 16 hours out of the month. Unless you have a solid plan for when you get out (a better job than you have now), then don't do it. Just extend for 12 months and wait for the school seat. You must not want to reclass that bad if you're not willing to wait 12 months.
When I applied to go 160th SOAR, I knew that I would have to wait 17 months until I could actually PCS and even attend EGP just to get a shot at joining the Regiment. I didn't think twice. If you really want something, you're willing to do what is necessary. If you're not, then you don't want it as bad as you really think you do.
