Well, I sure don't know how you go about that in the modern Army. Back in my day (1968-1970), I think I had 3 different MOS's, all at the whim of the Army.

How do you reclass and what is the process? Come time for your re-enlistment window to open, you go talk to your Retention NCO and see if you qualify. If you qualify, you re-enlist for that MOS then you head to the school when your orders come in. Simple as that.

Keep an eye on the in/out call MILPER messages between now and your reenlistment window opening and when you reenlist, get it in your contract.

The most recent In/Out MILPER is from September 2017.

You can keep track of them here..

In the above link, click on "Milper message" and you can view all MOS'S that are either short, over strength or balanced. You want to view the MOS's that are short and are taking "SL1" in (highlighted in green). In your case, you most likely will have to wait till your reenlistment opens (15months from your ETS date) then try to reclass to the MOS you want, instead of a voluntary reclass (before window opens). 14E aren't letting anyone go right now as you will see in the link. Your retention NCO will be able to enlighten you more on this. Anymore questions, feel free to ask. Hope I was of help.

Reclassification Opportunities

An awarded MOS, especially the PMOS, represents significant time and effort, both to the Army and the Soldier. Theneeds of the Army will be the overriding factor in reclassification actions.
