I'm working with the 21P people on reclassing from 92A. Currently 92A is balanced (I'm a Sergeant). Prior service USMC set me back on the power curve rankwise and I have 10 and a 1/2 years in. I won't be able to use BEAR for 21P and I have 6 months until ETS. I'm switching to 21P and am hoping 92Branch doesn't knock me down. new milper talks about reenlisting for reclass in reenlistment window? how do i go about this?

You cannot request reclassification while you're in your reenlistment window. I would recommend reenlisting for 3 years and then submitting your packet.

On a side note, prior service USMC does not set you back that much for promotion consideration. I was prior service (CPL-USMC) (1993-1997) and was selected for SFC in 2004. I had an MOS that always had 798 promotion points (71L / 42L).

I submitted the packet to the Prime Power School yesterday. Would they be able to secure me a school date for January and then I may reenlist and reclass?
