I'm trying to reclassify for a specific MOS, but my Retention NCO said only three schools have seats near my DEROS. What are my options?

I wanted to re-enlist for 15w but he said it got denied because there were no class dates near my deros date which is also my ets date. He gave me three options that I can reclass to and I have no interest in. What are my options?

Stay in your MOS and pick a new duty station, or pick an application MOS and apply to that, or go to Ranger School and reclass to 11B.

You could PCS extend and then try again.

Good advice here- this is not a job market. 1. The DEROS standard is set from on high- lower commands can do nothing. 2. Did you checkout about extending?. 3. Is 15W a shortfill, or are all the nerds going for it? Suck it up or hit the streets young man.

Your Career Counselor is correct- school seats are limited by your DEROS along with seat availability. The options your Counselor gave you are good, available options. You could possibly PCS stateside and try to reclass on your next reenlistment, although 15 series MOSes will likey not be available to you at that time due to other factors (i.e. rank, retention control point.)

Your Counselor gave you your options- trust them!
