Wonder why they are putting 14S in there...back before I went back to 11B land, they (Army) were trying to get me to convert from 14S to 14J because they were considering phasing out the Avenger.

I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. My good buddy had to reclass (14R) a couple of years ago. After that, I didn't even know there were still that many 14R's out there.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm

I was a 14S for 4 years in Germany. Absolutly pointless MOS. 14R's got all the Glory for having Bradley's and the Stinger guys pulled ammo detail. Reclassing to Aviation was the Best decision in my life. All those Fast tracking SFC's must be a little PO'ed!!

Maybe because you're not being phased out? Maybe because you're not grossly overstrength? I think I remember a few years ago 92A was in the Fast Track program.
AR, you are so right. I hate to say it. Hopefully this summer when I re-eup I can reclass. But Im quite sure my options will be highly limited despite all the pre-req 110GT and other things.
Since 92A is balanced from SGT through SGM, the chances are pretty decent that you may be able to get an option exception approved (if you are a mid-career Soldier) depending on the MOS you desire.
