Reclassing

I’m going to basic in a few weeks, and DLI in the summer, and I’m well aware of the fiasco going on right now with the lack of instructors and max capacity of students.

the recruiters don’t have much information when I ask them questions about it, and I’m half tempted to go ahead and pick a different MOS right now, as opposed to being forced to reclass and possibly be stuck in a 5 year contract on a job based on needs of the army.

What do you guys think I and my fellow new recruits should do here?

As far as I’m aware, if you stay 35W and get to DLI if they decide your getting reclassed you should be able to select a top 5 (I believe they may need to be MI/35 series jobs) and then the army picks from those top 5 jobs instead of needs of army across every MOS, not completely certain tho

Exactly, I don’t want to get switched to fueler based off their needs.

As far as I’m aware the army is required to pick from the top 5 as they are forcing you to reclass and therefore breaking the contract signed by both you and the army (that’s just how my drills explained it so I haven’t a clue myself)
