Although your MOS is understrength, you can enter the
BEAR Program because you're requesting 35L and/or 37F and these are on the exception to In/Out Calls list. However, 35L is currently only accepting SSGs through the BEAR Program.
You will not be leaving recruiting duty early for these MOS as recruiting duty is a higher priority. If a class seat is available for after your 3-year tour, you can extend under the BEAR Program when you're in your 24-month reenlistment window.
