That leaves me with 16 months)? I was thinking about converting from HM to 92Y. Also, the retention/HYT/TIS is all the same across the board right? <br /><br />I have talked to a couple recruiters about this, but I want to see what you guys think.

So, you would need an exception to policy. The Army isn&#39;t going to enlist you for only 2 years, 3 is more realistic. Three years is plenty of time to advance in a critical shortage MOS. You probably won&#39;t get 92Y because it&#39;s not a shortage MOS. The Army already has to make an exception to access you and if they put you in a non critical shortage MOS there is no guarantee you would make the next rank in time. You&#39;ll be limited to whatever they&#39;re offering that day.
