If you're in the Reserves, do you have to finish your initial 6 year contract before you can reclassify?

Can you reclass during your initial enlistment? Yes. Should You? Depends on a lot of variables. Unit transformations, unit deactivations, relocating outside of commuting distance, are generally good to go. However, if it's just a change of interest you may find things like enlistment bonus, student loan repayment, etc. In danger. This is a question that would best be addressed with your personal leadership as it is allowed, but your personal situation as well as the needs of your unit and the Army have to be taken into consideration, as well as vacancies in your unit and local units.

The Sergeant mostly hit the nail on the head. If you are reclassifying because of a unit change, then your bonus or other incentives are safe. If you are reclassifying just because you want a change, I would talk to the career counselor and ensure any incentives you have are still safe. Hate to see them come after some money.

It is not a pain in the ass. The Army is looking for Soldiers with more than one MOS. I recommend it. Let me know if you need help.
