Is 35Q phasing out? Are they reclassify to 35N or 17C?

Rumor has it 35Q is phasing out, how true is this? Why would they offer me this MOS and give me a bonus if they are talking about reclassify folks to 35N or 17C? Plus my AIT ends in AUG2020.

What are possible duty stations? Any overseas?

35Q is not currently being phased out and there have been no announced plans to reclass 35Q Soldiers.
You'll always hear rumors at the schoolhouse. Just remember that good idea fairies float ideas around there daily and any major changes to MOS structure take years to plan and implement, and the implementation plan usually takes 2-3 years for the transition.

I would suggest you to drop the packet now to re-class to 17C, if you want to stay cyber. While 35N is not a bad MOS, it seems to be over-strengthened to me. 35N is pretty much 35F in SIGINT. Ask the Papa and Sierra about their experience doing a November job.
