I'm considering reclassing to 91M from 35S. Do you have any advice?

I'm thinking about returning to my roots as a mechanic, going from 35S to 91M. I was originally a 91H so the transition back to the mechanical world shouldn't be too difficult, but I can't find anyone what has actually worked on the Bradley for their opinion to the vehicle and the possible duty stations. Let the opinions and experience flow.

Do you not like being a 35S? I’m a 91M that originally wanted to work on computers, but didn’t pay attention during my enlistment and rushed it. I think 35S sounds like an interesting job and possibly good transition to civilian life.

As far as 91M we have like 10 locations. Hood, Bliss, Irwin, Riley, Stewart, Korea. None of these locations are ideal.

Dont do it. Im currently a 91m. Bradleys suck. They break down just sitting on the line. And they are extremely cramoed to work in. If anything go 91b. You will have more opportunities. In the long run as far as civilian jobs. And the different military schools u can go to. Im currently out of bliss and can say it sucks. I wish i wouldve gone cav

There aren't currently any outcalls for 35S skill levels 2-4. If you really want to escape a desk and don't want to wait for outcalls to open, contact branch and see what they have to offer. There may be some assignments that interest you, especially if you are willing or wanting to go airborne. Also keep an eye on the monthly OCMI updates. They usually have notes of special programs and assignments for the MOS.
