I'm trying to see if theirs a way to get a particular MOS but my battalion retention NCO is telling me there aren't any open slots. Is it best to wait it out or is their someone I could call at branch that would be able to help?

No you cannot. Branch managers don't control school seats. There is a limited number of seats available per MOS for reclass, only a small portion of class seats go to reclass, with the majority of them going to initial entry.
There is a very real possibility that the MOS you want will never come up while you're in your reenlistment window, or that when your Career Counselor requests it, one of the other 100 people in the Army requesting it doesn't get it first.

They get loaded in waves as they are released to reclass. They may load 15 class seats or just one. Your best bet is to have a list of three or four MOSs you'll take and check in weekly. What's the MOS you're trying to get?

Yes. Atleast! I wish I would of waited a little longer myself. I missed out on an extra $25K bonus :-( but my class is only 8 seats so I got very lucky
