I am a SPC, 11B1P with the 82nd in Iraq, looking at my options for reclassing. I have a little less than 3 years until my ETS.

I do not have much access to our career counselor, and am not looking to reenlist. Basically I want to know if it's possible to reclass into 21U, 46R or possibly something intel related? And if so, how quickly does it take to process the requests?

Thanks in advance for any help!

If you don't plan to reenlist, why would the Army spend large amounts of money and fill a class seat for you? The only thing you pay for for Army Training is time; especially for the MOS's you listed. There are service remaining requirements for Army Training. Besides, 11B is a shortage MOS, so you are not able to request a voluntary reclassification. If you are an initial-term Soldier, then you will be offered the Army Training Reenlistment Option once your window opens, but if you do not intend to reenlist, then that is of no concern for you.

Thanks for explaining this CCMSG.

CWPeer, bottom line is because your MOS is shortage and you will not have enough time when you return from deployment, you're not going to be released for reclassification.

You can, however, reenlist for Option 3, Army Training Reenlistment Option when you are within 24-months of ETS.
