Is reclassifying to 91B a possibility? If so, what is the process?

I was looking into reclassing out of my current mos which is 11b and into 91b, because I’ve come to realize, I only want to serve one enlistment in the military, and I want to have career skills I can use in the civilian world, and when I joined the army, I had the hooah airborne mentality and signed up to be infantry, but I didn’t realize that I wouldn’t be earning very many carryover skills. I’m curious about the criteria for reclassing out of my current mos before my ETS date. I have a total of 8 months of service right now. My mechanic line score was actually my highest at 128 and my GT is 117 if that will help with any answers. Any advice

Best advice is, talk to your training NCO if your in the Guards or Reserves, or talk to your first line supervisor and see what you have to do. If anything you'll just have to go through 91B training.

Fort Bragg has a 91B reclass program that I went threw. Except for me,they were all reserves. Not sure how all that works,but it's worth a shot.

NO, Maybe, NO. 1, What you want is damn immaterial. The needs of the Army will come 1st. The 91b field would have to dying of starvation before DA would normally let someone reclass during an enlistment- normal would be 1yr within ETS, and re-enlisting for the new MOS. Maybe you should have thought more prior to signing up.

Since you are only 8 months in it may be pushing it trying to reclass. Talk to your training NCO or retention NCO and see if they have an available slots. If no slot available then you will have to wait til you have more time in service

The Army doesn't work that way. That's one of those things you should have thought about before entering into a contract. You can always ask. If you don't ask you won't get. Be prepared to get a boot in the a$$ for asking but don't let that deter you. 11B, you can go be a cop!

As COl Harris said there ARE options on the outside. You have good chance at getting a job on the outside based on how long and what you do in the military. Infantry might not be you cup o joe but you will learn leadership skills, management skills and how to prioritize different tasks (just to name a few). Some of the skills I named off are what companies look for along with certificates, degrees, diplomas, OJT.
Now me being a mechanic I say do it. But look at all your options and talk to your career counselor for your battalion/brigade. They are the ones that will help you out and hopefully get you what you want.

91b will not aid in the civilian world unless you get on board with contractors for the military. You are not viewed as a mechanic only as a parts changer with no training

Based on your GT score you might find that being a 915A would be more challenging. Based on your line score a 91H would be most beneficial. You can work on both track and wheeled vehicles as a 91H.

Currently at A.I.T for 91B.
You wont learn anything to help you in the Civilian Field, besides simple bare mechanics. You learn most of your mechanics from your duty station. Coolest thing about 91B is H8

91B won't give you much skills when you get out. Civilian wrench time is totally different from the Army. If your at Bragg, there is an OUT program there or it was,basically it gives you time and can help you get your ASE. *Look this up. ASE certifications can help you big time on getting employment when you get out.Wielding is a good trade to learn and easily transfers easily to the civilian world and so does construction mechanics. Hope this helps.

"91B won't give you much skills when you get out."
It's given me a heck of a leg up on others, civilian side both in skill and resume-wise.
Of course, being a soldier in general looks good on a resume (depending on the color of your state).
