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

SGM Frazer is right. You need to either finish your first enlistment, or be close enough for re-enlistment to reclass. Only acception is if, like SGM said, they DESPERATELY needed the manpower. If you try and submit it right now they will laugh and deny. That being said. Suck it up, you're a SOLDIER FIRST. You enlisted to fight, so fight. Make it through the enlistment and go again.

As a former 91b. All you have to do is talk to the proper channels. Most of the comments on her must be all 11b because there saying crap like immoral. You have to do what is right for you.

Your line score would help out greatly to reclass. Your just have to hatch out the details with your reenlistment NCO. You will have better opportunities both in the military and in the civilian sector.

It is good you are setting goals. You should always have a 5 and 10 year plan. I would not worry to much about trying to change your MOS at this point. You will have your GI Bill to use once you leave the service you can then make a choice on what you want to learn. In the present the military is the only place you can have the job in the infantry. Do your best and take pride in the fact that you are part of Army history.

PV2 (Join to see) At 8 months, changing your MOS now is probably not an option. What you can do now is research and decide what you would envision as a future career. Just because your mechanic line score was high, does not mean that is what you would be happy doing. Also, many former infantry soldiers have led highly successful civilian careers. Consider taking college classes, and strive to be the best 11B in the Army.

If you are active duty you need at least 2 years service before they even consider letting you reclass. Even then the job you want has to be in high demand. If you want to reclass you'd be best to serve out one more contract. I was a 91b. Trust me, it's worth getting the time in the MOS. There are a lot of different opportunities out there with the skil set of an army mechanic.

Assuming you joined for 4 years or less.. ight you have 6 or 8 year contract, then out could be possible.
