Are there any options for a BNCOC Qual'ed E-6 to reclass to these days? I have a re-up in April and am hoping to reclass from my bottlenecked MOS. Thank you

There's a few MOS's in the BEAR program. I'm in the same boat as you and I'm looking into 35L.

We get SSGs through the 25P course but I think they're all reclassed due to medical reasons. (25P has low physical demands..)

51C if you have less than 13 years AFS and verified leadership time.

I looked into 35L but that isnt my cup of tea. I did the interview and it seemed like to much paperwork. What does a 51C do? Do the promotions to 7 look good? I dont think my 3 years on recruiting count for leadership time though. i only have 9 in right now. thanks

That is a good question. Does the time spent on recruiting count as verified leadership time since you take a civilian fresh off the street and train them in the basic tasks to become successful in BCT?

While I'm definetly not the approval authority, I would venture to guess that a successful recruiting assignment would qualify as leadership time.

http://asc.army.mil/career/programs/nco/default.cfm - Info pertaining to the MOS. I can answer most questions you might have. Over 50% of the force structure is SFC though (MTOE) so in my opinion, yes promotion rates are good. If you don't like paperwork however, this is not the job for you.

How long of a period are they looking for as far as verified leadership time?

There is always 94D...AHHHHHHH HAHAHAHA!!! Hi man. I guess you should have never given up on that reclass in Iraq, but it isn't like we had much of a choice with such a helpful retention NCO. Good luck to you. Let me know how it works out for you. Any MOS would be lucky to have you.
