So I am running into a dilenma, I am reclassing I have till June for ets.My career counselor won't let me reclass without a clearance or favorable action. I contacted s2 they say they contacted CAS and are awaiting answer. S2 nco isn't answering my messages anymore. I need to know if I can reclass still? or if there is anything anyone can do to help since this reclass school is in December and I'm really trying to go combat now. It feels like no one is helping. Is there anything or anyone that can do anything to help me reclass? Is this a thing now where everyone needs a clearance to go to reclass school. I am in fort carson now. Need some help from anyone. Thanks

Everyone has to be able to maintain a favorable background investigation just to be in the military because it's a national security position. So if you haven't had at least a T3 started that's probably the hold up.

I mean for people to go to reclass for 35series they just need interim SCI but have to have a T5 open with advanced NAC complete. You should be able to go with an interim if your T3 is open.

That's pretty messed up your S2 isn't answering even if CAS hasn't gotten back.
