Hi I am planning on reenlisting at the end of this month, I was curious if you think it would be a problem for me to go from 92F to 25S! I am deployed right now and I am a specialist! My ETS is Feb 2010 and this is my first reenlistment?

Since both MOSs are understrength through SPC and this is your first reenlistment, there's a very good chance you can get this MOS if you meet ALL the qualifications (below) and there is a training date for you.

Ok thank you very much, now another question... would I still qualify for a bonus and also would I be able to get duty station of choice?

You would more than likely qualify for a deployment bonus, but if you reenlist for Option 3, that's your reenlistment option. You can select up to four locations you'd like to be assigned to, but these locations are not guaranteed.

Hello again i have one more question,
i talked to my CC and he is telling me is hard to find school seat for 92y. Who i need to contact in order to be able to participate into the bear program, and get the school date, i am very interested and motivated to be a 92y but looks like i need a little more help.
Please point me in the right direction

Thank you so much... you have been very helpful in answering my questions! Ok one last question, Now if I were to stay a 92F and reenlisted for 6 years what would my bonus be?? And also would I be able to get Fort Lee with this being my first reenlistment? I am a E4 with an ets date of February 2010?? Thanks in advance!
