21BSapper, are you eligible to reenlist now? 2 years from ETS date you are eligible. Have you reenlisted before? Your 1st reenlistment you can (potentially) reclass into any MOS you are qualified for and they have the school dates for. After that first re-up, you are considered 'mid-career'. Once mid-career, you have to re-class based on the In/ Out calls in the MILPER messages. According to MILPER message 08-176 21B is 'Balanced' across the ranks. 31B is 'Shortage' so theoretically you can reclass into it.
