Can I reclass out of an understrength MOS by re-enlisting?

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. A little background: I submitted a WOFT packet but was FQ-NS last board and can’t afford to hold my breath on this current board. I do enjoy the Army and wish to make a career out of it yet, I hope to reclass into a job similar to what I would like to do on the civilian side. That being said, I am coming up on my reenlistment window but, looking at this latest Milper (21-004), it states that there must be a Y under the out column unless I choose to pursue a packet mos. I have a buddy who just got re-enlisted for 15T who currently holds the same mos as I. I am currently a 19D1P, I just passed last months promo board. If all goes well I hope to pick up by the time my window opens up. I’m wanting to reclass into the medical field. I’ve got a 114 GT and am 6 credits away from completing my Associates. I did reach out to our Battalion’s career counselor but was told I’m stuck unless I do a packet Mos. Is there a chance I’ll be able to reclass? Again, I apologize for any perceived arrogance. I’ve scoured for information and this is just a last ditch effort to get an answer.

You need to talk to you career planner. A lot depends on the density if the MOS you want and the density of the MOS you have. They’ll be your best bet.

You really already have your answer. You're stuck unless you do a packet mos. Those, if you qualify, ignore your current mos strengths.

You answered your own question. The only way out of your under-strength MOS is to reclass into a field that ignores those requirements.
At the time of this writing, the current IN/OUT call MILPER is 20-320. Soldiers may reclass into CMF 18, or MOS 12P, 17C, 17E, 25D, 25E, 31D, 35L, 37F, 38B, 79R (SSG only), 79S and 89D regardless of the In/Out calls for current PMOS.

Roger SGT. I have a buddy who is in the exact same MOS as me, same rank, TIS , and he was able to reclass into 15T (not a packet mos) which has been balanced for a while. We have also been under strength for a while so I was inquiring exactly about how he did it.

SGT (Join to see) - I'm unsure how that happened, unless he knew somebody that knew somebody. Those aren't usual, at least in my experiences. But if you can find a way, shoot for the stars.
