Hello, so I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I am a 92Y SGT(P) with 8years of service Active. And I am not a fan of this MOS, and recently, I have retested for the ASVAB again and scored a 119 to become a 35N(Signals Intelligence Analyst) as I always wanted to become part of the INSCOM world. But because the in and outcalls are N/N(92Y) and N/N(35N), and because I was told when I finish ALC and pick up SSG that reclassing would be almost impossible, this plan does not look very affordable to me. I am writing this message because I am asking anyone if they can give me any suggestion on what other option or give me any contact information of someone who can help.

The unit Career Counselor is your best resource. That is the only way to find out what options are available. There might be other MOS that would also interest you, other than 35N if it isn’t available.
You would probably have to drop your P status to reclassify, but it might be worth it to switch to something you really want to do.

Let’s try something different from quibbling over your profile, which isn’t helpful anyway. I say, grow where you’re planted. Be the very best supply person you can be. A great supply person can make their senior leadership look very good and really help the Soldiers by having the equipment and supplies needed for the mission. Take advantage of training and education in logistics. Learn about supply chain management Get your bachelors degree. Do all the leadership training and prepare to move up to Senior NCO.

Lt COL Coe... Best response yet, thank you.
SGT (Join to see) As your reclass options are about nil you have a few choices.
Stay a 92Y, and learn the craft better than anyone else...be "The Guy" BN XO's call, the one CDRS call and ask..... please teach my guy that.
Another option is stay a 92Y, but select a duty station and request a unit you can provide support to, that the unit will thank you for..
Career counselor, be successful at it and then convert to a 79S

Soooo.....now you're misrepresenting yourself in a different way. SGT(P) is NOT a SSG yet. You haven't picked up SSG yet so why say you're a SSG. That's like me saying I'm a MSG now even though I haven't completed MLC yet. So, I guess my career advice for you is to STOP misrepresenting yourself with rank you don't have yet.
