ive been in the army for 3 years and am 11b. i am stop lossed to deploy to afghanistan in july, my ets was in august. now i found out that bacause of my h3 hearing profile that i cannont remain infantry. the mmrb decided that i should be re classed. is there any way out of this? i only want to be infantry and if i cant do that anymore i want to get out in auguast like i was supposed to. why would they stop loss me only to re class me?

MILPER MESSAGE 06-232, ACTIVE ARMY (AA) STOP LOSS/STOP MOVEMENT PROGRAM FOR UNITS SCHEDULED TO DEPLOY OCONUS IN SUPPORT OF OIF AND OEF

8. SOLDIERS EXEMPT FROM SL/SM. SOLDIERS IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO SL/SM. DUE TO OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS ADDITIONAL EXEMPTIONS TO STOP MOVE MAY BE NECESSARY. CG, HRC WILL PUBLISH ADDITIONAL EXEMPTIONS VIA MILPER MESSAGE UPON APPROVAL OF THE DCS, G-1.

O. ENLISTED SOLDIERS PARTICIPATING IN THE BONUS EXTENSION AND RETRAINING (BEAR) PROGRAM OR IDENTIFIED FOR RECLASSIFICATION UNDER THE MOS MEDICAL RETENTION BOARD (MMRB).

so what does this mean? are they gonna send me to some other AIT while my buddies deploy? or just deploy me and make me do some bullshit job like fueler?

You're exempt from SL/SM ... you'll be reclassed if you reenlist/extend to meet any service remaining requirements.

and what if i dont want to extend to reclass? my 1sg said that if i dont extend to reclass then i deploy with the my anyways, i just wont do infantry jobs
