I'm currently a 68C but am wanting to reclass to either 25D or 17C as those MOSs are related to where I want my career to go. I know that both 25D and 17C are available regardless of In/Out calls but being a 68C makes me think they may not approve my request. I have some related IT work experience as well as my security+ certification and am currently enrolled for an online program to get a bachelors in cyber security. Any input would be appreciated.

I’m going to tell you right now, as someone who has recently graduated from the 25D course, throw all you know now out the window completely. The main focus that I would say you need to know is Linux (a lot of Linux), windows command line, packet analysis, windows artifacts, and so much more in depth that will be too much for this post. It’s going to be rough, and depending on when you go, at least for me, it was completely virtual due to the pandemic.

Surprised it was virtual. Probably made it a bit harder to pick up some of the concepts I would imagine.

I was pretty much in your shoes when I attended the course, I was halfway through a BS in Cyber Security and had my SEC+ certificate. My biggest suggestion is to make sure you have good study habits and be ready for the course to dominate your life for the time you are there. They are continuously changing which SANS certificates are mandatory so I can't speak on them specifically, but it is doable and takes a lot of effort.

Do it! I have no IT experience, but working through a BS in Cyber Security as well as 11C and I'm about to drop a packet
