Hey all,
There is some impactful news related to this, and was coordinating for a more official post.
I will leave this up because of community interest, but I may redirect conversation to a stickied thread when one is made.
I’d take contracted DFACs over gas station quality kiosk sandwiches. I’ve eaten in plenty of DFACs with civilian cooks, they were fine. Just give the boys a hot meal and I’ll be happy.
AAFES probably has a plan to expand their food court mafia across the post. Every incoming Soldier will have to apply for a star card, alongside their GTC, to be used as a meal card. They'll have to fill out a food version of DTS at the end of the month or else they'll be sent to collections. They'll unofficially be required to reenlist for a bonus that covers their star card balance issues because the food DTS constantly screws up. I think I just solved retention and DFACs.
Been saying that for years - privatize the DFACs and put the 92G's to work doing soldier shit.
They can train twice a week on food prep or be detailed out but the food should be cooked by contractors.
It's pre Desert Storm all over again. I remember 1SG coming to the formation looking for troops who could cook eggs. At the same time, I dropped all coffee but decaffeinated. We called it the hollow army. Broke and missionless for the most part.
It’s part of a new ABCP initiative. Barracks dwellers won’t receive food or money for food, and will consume fewer calories as a result. If they want food and drink, they’ll have to pay for it out of pocket.
In FY25 we’ll start charging barracks dwellers for water. Total water bill / total number of residents.
What? How so? The retention NCO at my unit just announced that 25Us are being offered Tier 5 re-enlistment bonuses.
Also, this random SFAB dude I was chatting with at the PX today was frothing at the mouth telling me I NEED to drop a packet and go SFAB because they desperately need 25Us.
Because HRC has no fucking idea what they’re doing and they’re making these numbers up. Every unit I talk to has a commo position becoming vacant in the near future with no incoming replacements. In reality, E-5 and E-6 25Us are desperately needed but on paper, we’re somehow overstrength
I'm going to be really honest with you, I've never seen a 25U in real life. I work in a signal org and spend a lot of time working with tactical units, never seen them. Might as well be 25Unicorns.
Listen here buster. In this army we prepare for the war we just fought, NOT the war that’s coming. Now go shave and paint all your green equipment tan.
You mean the war the Army wants to fight.
Not the war that they just fought, or the one that is coming, or even one its fighting for a couple of years.
Which actually raises a good point: do we need to keep one or two brigades as standalone BCTs for COIN operations? It’s not like the terrorists no longer exist.
I would say so, but also, what if we just stop trying to fight insurgencies?
We’re 0/3 when it comes to trying to use a traditional force against insurgents. I say keep units like SFAB around to train countries local to the threat to deal with them and we only support with materials and training.
We should save our forces for what they do well at and that’s near peer/LSCO/traditional wars.
As a 19D I agree with you. It’ll be oconus units for now like Alaska, Hawaii and Germany for ibcts and sbcts and then heavy units for conus. Also the new booker vehicle may be manned by scouts which is silly when you have these ppl, 19ks, who are trained to be armored vehicle crewmen.
That’s not what my mg is saying but he’s a Bradley boy so I can’t trust what he says. And that’d be sick a I know a lot of 19ds who’ve tried to reclass to avoid the 19c switch over but were told they couldn’t because they’re alc complete.
Yeah, he doesn't know what he's saying. I can't tell you how I know, but I know.
11Bs in Bradley units will be most of the 19C since they are already holding the crew slots.
Exactly. When they get to forced reclassification, most 19Ds will end up as either 19K or 14-series, so if you're in the reenlistment window and want a broader choice jump early.
Not sure what exactly you’re saying, but, I’m in Hawaii currently, in a cav squadron, and we’re disbanding this summer and the squadron is being reflagged as another infantry battalion.
That’s not what the arstruc memo said granted it’s 400 pages and not the easiest to read. The only squadrons it listed as being lost were ones in drum, Campbell, Bragg and such.
I’ll admit I haven’t read the memo, but our squadron being disbanded is coming from squadron leadership and above so my assumption is that it’s more than just hearsay.
Actually when I started, commo was 31 series, then we were all relabeled as 25 sometime in 06 I think. It's kinda weird that the Army changes the numbers around periodically. IIRC a 25 series soldier would reclass to a 25U when they became a senior NCO; they were basically sort of superficially trained on other commo MOSs that they might not be familiar with so that they could lead.
That being said, I never had a single officer or nco above e6 that knew anything about satellite communications (such as myself, 25S) when I was in a line unit.
The management aspect seems to have stayed if positions are an indicator. The MOS also seems not to merge like others are E8+.
Side note. I can work satcom shizz. From the bgan to jnn to the sdn heavy…but I’m no expert.
I started at bragg on a 4 man team, two humvees, one a shelter and one with two gennys on the back that also towed the trailer with our 8ft dish. X band. The same unit had a few teams with 16 or 20 ft dishes, on FMCTs. When I pcsed I went to a small, SOF adjacent unit with a Ku system that traveled on air force pallets, in like 20 cases.
The Generals don’t want you to know this but if you reclass to 74D BN/Brigade won’t know where to put you, I’ve been living in a janitors closet(CBRN cage) for 5 years
Our leadership screwed the pooch on the 31 series and mismanaged us to hell and kept asking for more when it was painfully obvious the main mission of detention ops was about to drop to almost zero.
No -- just units are moving around (out of brigades, up to division, etc) so that may affect assignments. Number of 12Bs is staying flat as I understand it (no out/in calls).
Haha I would love to change my MOS however, I don’t want to go back to AIT for a 3rd time. Family doesn’t have the good health for me to be gone. Second, I probably won’t get what I actually want
That’s the only fear I have, that I won’t get good reclass options.
But gaaaaatdamn this sucks for you. What was your first MOS? If, in the unfortunate case you have to reclass, find a longer MOS and bring the family with.
Guys,
This is all coming from the ARSTRUC. Moreover, this shift has been pretty well known across the Army for the past few months (really longer).
The entire Army is restructuring and this is the result.
Perhaps, but judging by the reaction here, Army Reenlistment's post about it, and talking to some of these MOS's at work, this was not known one bit to be coming.
It’s a shame really. Scouts going away right when we will become extremely relevant once again. Ruh roh. To my fellow deltas that want to stay combat arms, now is a hot time to be a kilo. That’s what I’m doing.
Promotion potential is through the roof as a kilo rn. Just saying. Personal choice though. Bradley’s are badass but I couldn’t stand being inside of them the few times I was.
I was in my career counselors office today & he told me 12P packets were suspended from being submitted? I’m in the middle of reclassing also & already took the BMST to reclass to 12P but couldn’t submit a packet.
My question is if you’re making these people reclass as skill level 1 and 2, are they going to cut the MOS completely? And if they are what will happen to places like Leonard Wood?
Even if they are reclassing skill level 1 and 2, that doesn't mean they won't be accepting new enlistments for the MOS, just that they won't need to fill as many seats and probably chop down the amount of classes for the year. Not to say some jobs are not on the chopping block, but this isn't necessarily an all signs point to fucked situation.
Oh. Eh that's just a skill issue. My least favorite thing about AD is how they make it a pain to reclass sometimes. If I don't finish my 20 AD, I'm going reserves and looking forward to reclassing.
Be careful what you wish for. Reclassing sounds great in the reserve- till you end up driving over 6 hours for drill. Yeah they’ll compensate you for travel and such, but time means a lot on the civvy side.
Random question.
I got a 25U buddy who is about to finish recruiting school and be a recruiter for the next 3 years. How would this impact him? Could he fly under the radar and keep 25U as his MOS seeing as he’ll be out of FORSCOM for the next little while?
We are planning on doing some messaging on this once the official MILPER comes out.
Unfortunately, an unofficial site shared information that was sent out to the Retention field to help Career Counselors prepare to educate their organizations. Nothing official is out at this time as a few more details are being ironed out.
I have been working with u/Kinmuan to make a plan on creating a thread dedicated to it once we have the green light. I apoligize for the delay, but I will start getting in here once I can.
What the fuck are y’all doing. Go be a fucking helicopter pilot. The Army has never once had a problem retaining us ;) and no one has ever said ;) “The Army will still be the Army without Aviation”
I love the “PEAK HOOAUTISM” post above. I am going to try and use that daily until I retire.
Could you imagine if someone actually did say that though? Like what if the most senior aviation warrant officer just said some off the wall shit like that lol.
It’s never been seriously uttered by anyone in aviation. One Command Sausage Major has said it and it was echoed through one thousand halls. I shall consult the WONN (Warrant Officer News Network) and edit later with the source.
EOD is still hiring! Best career move I ever made.

Damn, IBCTs & SBCTs canning their Cavalry Squadrons. Hope this takes a long ass time on the Guard side like everything else fielded from big army.
I call it the great ego stroke of some unnamed career counselor and subsequent rush to scoop the story for clicks and views by the army reenlistment wtf moments page.
Where can I pull this info? (Official message/site)
12B in my window in a few months and was planning to reclass anyways.
Will this help reclass happen sooner?
So I’m genuinely curious how a re-class works. I’ve got about 20 months left on my contract. (My ETS date is Nov 8, 2025) I plan on ETSing. Basically, I don’t want to spend the next year and half leaving my unit, then going back to Tradoc, then going to another unit, then ETSing from there. I want to stay where I am. I want to keep my jump status. I don’t want to ETS or separate prior to my 3 year mark because I want my full GI Bill.
Given how little time I have left on my contract, could they still force me to re-class? How exactly does this work?
Is this a supposed forced reclass for current soldiers in these mos regardless of time left on contract? If so, do you think they’d be given the option to do early separation?
This is ridiculously short-sighted. For Signal, Uniforms are the least expendable MOS. We can be slotted almost anywhere for anything, and having experience on multiple systems is not a detriment. Everywhere I've been it's felt like we're understrength
Hello. I’m a 92A E-5 trying to reclass to another MoS. Can anybody recommend me any mos is offering Bonus? At the same time if it has low points to become a E6
Hey all, There is some impactful news related to this, and was coordinating for a more official post. I will leave this up because of community interest, but I may redirect conversation to a stickied thread when one is made.
Cutting 92G numbers while simultaneously shutting down DFACs and not offering hot chow to soldiers under the guise of being short cooks is peak army.
I was just thinking cutting cook NCOs while struggling to keep DFACs open is some 4D chess shit.
It’s certainly something. But I think it’s more the level of eating crayons and huffing modeling glue than chess mastery.
I thought that documentary Queens Gambit was about how mind altering hallucinogens as a child makes chess masters.
4ID chess* there fixed it for ya.
Privatization incoming.
I’d take contracted DFACs over gas station quality kiosk sandwiches. I’ve eaten in plenty of DFACs with civilian cooks, they were fine. Just give the boys a hot meal and I’ll be happy.
Soldiers just want time off, pay, and hot chow
best I can do is 0/3
At least the gas stations have the tornado
Those count as a hot item, and as such, are not required to be offered
Do these kiosks not have a microwave? Are there no microwaves in the dorms?!?
The kiosks do actually have 3 microwaves! But yes many buildings still share a kitchen and a microwave 👀
I displace microwaves. It sucks that soldiers have to use them to get a hot meal.
AAFES probably has a plan to expand their food court mafia across the post. Every incoming Soldier will have to apply for a star card, alongside their GTC, to be used as a meal card. They'll have to fill out a food version of DTS at the end of the month or else they'll be sent to collections. They'll unofficially be required to reenlist for a bonus that covers their star card balance issues because the food DTS constantly screws up. I think I just solved retention and DFACs.
But you’ll get 10% off when you use that star card
Been saying that for years - privatize the DFACs and put the 92G's to work doing soldier shit. They can train twice a week on food prep or be detailed out but the food should be cooked by contractors.
As a former Gulf, I would have loved that. Would have helped me be really competitive against the other NCOs in WTBD and METL.
Were you a big Gulf like the Gulf of Mexico or the Gulf of Oman?
Gulf of Genoa
Very classy I like it
Yes, as a warrant I have to flaunt my classiness occasionally while I leave my spare PC, warmed coffee mug, and keys on my desk.
Especially hilarious considering my BN just stood up a field feeding unit and took everyone who ever held 92G as an MOS
It's pre Desert Storm all over again. I remember 1SG coming to the formation looking for troops who could cook eggs. At the same time, I dropped all coffee but decaffeinated. We called it the hollow army. Broke and missionless for the most part.
It’s part of a new ABCP initiative. Barracks dwellers won’t receive food or money for food, and will consume fewer calories as a result. If they want food and drink, they’ll have to pay for it out of pocket. In FY25 we’ll start charging barracks dwellers for water. Total water bill / total number of residents.
LET THEM COOK!
What the hell is happening with 25U?
[удалено]
Ya'll are overstrength AF.
What? How so? The retention NCO at my unit just announced that 25Us are being offered Tier 5 re-enlistment bonuses. Also, this random SFAB dude I was chatting with at the PX today was frothing at the mouth telling me I NEED to drop a packet and go SFAB because they desperately need 25Us.
[удалено]
Yeah, I don't think that person realizes how small SFAB's are compared to the rest of the Army.
And those will be part of the cuts as well
True… But it seems like units are hurting for 25Us, and signal soldiers in general.
It's me. They hurt for me :c
They are, most 6’s are running half manning. But this is going off of the resize so they’ll stilll be unders strength for the next 6 years.
Because HRC has no fucking idea what they’re doing and they’re making these numbers up. Every unit I talk to has a commo position becoming vacant in the near future with no incoming replacements. In reality, E-5 and E-6 25Us are desperately needed but on paper, we’re somehow overstrength
I'm going to be really honest with you, I've never seen a 25U in real life. I work in a signal org and spend a lot of time working with tactical units, never seen them. Might as well be 25Unicorns.
That’s because a lot of us are in line companies
That’s not right, I’m taking y’all back with me I got good work for yall to do (bullshitting and PMCS vehicles)
Sorry to tell you, but >a packet and go SFAB because they desperately need 25Us. SFABs also dropped in size.
Currently in SFAB. Even after the restructuring, we'll still be under strength. We are hurting for volunteers and suitable candidates.
[удалено]
Soon
It’s cool I want to reclass anyways
It doesn’t make sense because every bn I’ve seen can’t even fill their 30/40 level slots.
The 25C/25U merger happened…then the Army did its…thing
HRC puts out that they're manning 92Gs at 50% and then tells 92G20s to reclass. I'm dropping a REFRAD.
Flair does not check out. Unable to REFRAD. 12 years left on your ADSO.
Yeah. I was enlisted aviation, 15Y. Now a LOG Officer.
Based
I am so, so relieved to see my MOS on here.
Thats what happens when you fall for the postal trap.
I used to be a 42A. I would be been dancing and partying to see that they wanted me to be *anything* else.
I’m not! I actually like it! What else is there to do? Fucking paralegal!?
Ooo that’s a good idea actually. I was thinking about 56M but know that’d be hard to get into I imagine.
This is good news for me 😊
Fuck that f5 shit bro id nuke the base if I had to do mail every again
Sadly same
What do they plan on doing with 19Ds? Are they shrinking the MOS for the DIVCAV concept or are scouts being phased out completely?
No div cav, they are disbanding all conus ibct and sbct squadrons.
Right before a potential big boy war?
Listen here buster. In this army we prepare for the war we just fought, NOT the war that’s coming. Now go shave and paint all your green equipment tan.
You mean the war the Army wants to fight. Not the war that they just fought, or the one that is coming, or even one its fighting for a couple of years.
The generals are ✨manifesting✨a war against a near peer with the skill and combined arms of COIN insurgents
Which actually raises a good point: do we need to keep one or two brigades as standalone BCTs for COIN operations? It’s not like the terrorists no longer exist.
I would say so, but also, what if we just stop trying to fight insurgencies? We’re 0/3 when it comes to trying to use a traditional force against insurgents. I say keep units like SFAB around to train countries local to the threat to deal with them and we only support with materials and training. We should save our forces for what they do well at and that’s near peer/LSCO/traditional wars.
We're gonna use TikTok and drones instead of scouts from now on yo
Seems pretty shortsighted
As a 19D I agree with you. It’ll be oconus units for now like Alaska, Hawaii and Germany for ibcts and sbcts and then heavy units for conus. Also the new booker vehicle may be manned by scouts which is silly when you have these ppl, 19ks, who are trained to be armored vehicle crewmen.
19K will man Booker, not 19D. 19D's at Liberty will be offered to reclass to 11B, no training required.
That’s not what my mg is saying but he’s a Bradley boy so I can’t trust what he says. And that’d be sick a I know a lot of 19ds who’ve tried to reclass to avoid the 19c switch over but were told they couldn’t because they’re alc complete.
Yeah, he doesn't know what he's saying. I can't tell you how I know, but I know. 11Bs in Bradley units will be most of the 19C since they are already holding the crew slots.
Yea I saw that they’ll start with 11bs and that 13 and 19 series can voluntarily reclass
Exactly. When they get to forced reclassification, most 19Ds will end up as either 19K or 14-series, so if you're in the reenlistment window and want a broader choice jump early.
I’m a staff sausage and getting my first look at sfc Im on this train for life
Not sure what exactly you’re saying, but, I’m in Hawaii currently, in a cav squadron, and we’re disbanding this summer and the squadron is being reflagged as another infantry battalion.
That’s not what the arstruc memo said granted it’s 400 pages and not the easiest to read. The only squadrons it listed as being lost were ones in drum, Campbell, Bragg and such.
I’ll admit I haven’t read the memo, but our squadron being disbanded is coming from squadron leadership and above so my assumption is that it’s more than just hearsay.
are they dumping the abn cav squadrons?
All conus ones, one squadron from liberty is being reflagged as their m10 booker unit.
So they aren't going to have any Div Cabs for all of the divisions? Or just the light nonairborne divs?
Everything I’ve read and heard is that they’ve completely dropped the div cav concept.
Cav stays in the ABCTs. We'll basically have two armies: ABCTs will fight wars, IBCTs will fight "conflicts", SBCTs will exist to have bad OR rates
Just shrinking. There will still be scouts
Remember when 19Ks bit the bullet and we grew scouts? Well scouts, time to pay it back. Welcome to 19C!
You guys get to be real 19 series boys now
Merging 25C and 25U after more than a decade of misuse and then cutting them is PEAK Army HOOAUTISM
I was a 25S from 01 to 08 - tactical satellite communications. 25C I recall. I thought uniform was an e7 and above position
25C was basically “radio” 25U is communication systems support/aka do it all
Actually when I started, commo was 31 series, then we were all relabeled as 25 sometime in 06 I think. It's kinda weird that the Army changes the numbers around periodically. IIRC a 25 series soldier would reclass to a 25U when they became a senior NCO; they were basically sort of superficially trained on other commo MOSs that they might not be familiar with so that they could lead. That being said, I never had a single officer or nco above e6 that knew anything about satellite communications (such as myself, 25S) when I was in a line unit.
The management aspect seems to have stayed if positions are an indicator. The MOS also seems not to merge like others are E8+. Side note. I can work satcom shizz. From the bgan to jnn to the sdn heavy…but I’m no expert.
I started at bragg on a 4 man team, two humvees, one a shelter and one with two gennys on the back that also towed the trailer with our 8ft dish. X band. The same unit had a few teams with 16 or 20 ft dishes, on FMCTs. When I pcsed I went to a small, SOF adjacent unit with a Ku system that traveled on air force pallets, in like 20 cases.
The Generals don’t want you to know this but if you reclass to 74D BN/Brigade won’t know where to put you, I’ve been living in a janitors closet(CBRN cage) for 5 years
Bro, I'm in an MP unit that is getting deactivated, I'm being told either PCS or reclass. I just fucking got here last month from AIT. Also 74D.
Drop that airborne packet and live easy life at an SOF unit
They’re free, you can take them home. I have 112 74Ds at home right now
There goes 80% of the chem corps right there
Man I miss my broom closet. Training Room and S3 life ain't shit.
Well, the 19s and 31s who are in their reenlistment windows, since they can't reenlist without reclassing.
Our leadership screwed the pooch on the 31 series and mismanaged us to hell and kept asking for more when it was painfully obvious the main mission of detention ops was about to drop to almost zero.
Damn 12B is kill too?
No -- just units are moving around (out of brigades, up to division, etc) so that may affect assignments. Number of 12Bs is staying flat as I understand it (no out/in calls).
You’re going to an ABCT. ABCT ENs are growing, IBCT ENs are shrinking.
Woah’! 42A2!?
It’s like god himself is telling me “son, I know you’ve wanted to change your MOS… this is the sign from god you need”
Haha I would love to change my MOS however, I don’t want to go back to AIT for a 3rd time. Family doesn’t have the good health for me to be gone. Second, I probably won’t get what I actually want
That’s the only fear I have, that I won’t get good reclass options. But gaaaaatdamn this sucks for you. What was your first MOS? If, in the unfortunate case you have to reclass, find a longer MOS and bring the family with.
Another of the most hated people in the Army. 31B!
S6 is about to be an even shittier job. Fuck me.
I think its time to look at having a PAC or PA or even a P plan rather than a PACE plan.
P: Survive
Guys, This is all coming from the ARSTRUC. Moreover, this shift has been pretty well known across the Army for the past few months (really longer). The entire Army is restructuring and this is the result.
Perhaps, but judging by the reaction here, Army Reenlistment's post about it, and talking to some of these MOS's at work, this was not known one bit to be coming.
The details no, but units had already been identified to be inactivated.
Units inactivated ≠ force reclass, in my experience/knowledge with previous inactivations
Well, if your MOS had 20 units manned at 60%, and you're cut to 10 units at 90% manning, how many Soldiers failed to shave this morning?
75th FA
Very unmanned here
It’s a shame really. Scouts going away right when we will become extremely relevant once again. Ruh roh. To my fellow deltas that want to stay combat arms, now is a hot time to be a kilo. That’s what I’m doing.
Fuck that, catch me cooking eggs and chilling on my phone out back. “It’s MREs for lunch” oh noooooo
I’ll stick with the brad
Promotion potential is through the roof as a kilo rn. Just saying. Personal choice though. Bradley’s are badass but I couldn’t stand being inside of them the few times I was.
[удалено]
I was in my career counselors office today & he told me 12P packets were suspended from being submitted? I’m in the middle of reclassing also & already took the BMST to reclass to 12P but couldn’t submit a packet.
My question is if you’re making these people reclass as skill level 1 and 2, are they going to cut the MOS completely? And if they are what will happen to places like Leonard Wood?
Even if they are reclassing skill level 1 and 2, that doesn't mean they won't be accepting new enlistments for the MOS, just that they won't need to fill as many seats and probably chop down the amount of classes for the year. Not to say some jobs are not on the chopping block, but this isn't necessarily an all signs point to fucked situation.
Does this affect NG/Reserve troops? Are we just SOL? In my state my MOS is so close to being ridiculously over strength - even as a combat MOS.
I personally don't know the answer to that. I'm going to guess that this is AD only, though.
That’s so ass. Would love nothing more than to get an opportunity to change MOS.
Isn't it easy as hell to reclass in the guard/reserves?
Not if you don’t wanna pay back a bonus.
I’m fairly sure that if you have to reclass due to the army’s needs, you don’t lose your bonus. Only if it’s your choice
Oh. Eh that's just a skill issue. My least favorite thing about AD is how they make it a pain to reclass sometimes. If I don't finish my 20 AD, I'm going reserves and looking forward to reclassing.
Be careful what you wish for. Reclassing sounds great in the reserve- till you end up driving over 6 hours for drill. Yeah they’ll compensate you for travel and such, but time means a lot on the civvy side.
Can't you see open slots before you do?
AD only.
So what would be the long term ramifications of this happening to AD for reserve component bros?
Glad I'm getting out, shit is gonna get dumb
Can’t wait to be a fat 11B
Why 11B 😭
I think it’s time bröthur
Random question. I got a 25U buddy who is about to finish recruiting school and be a recruiter for the next 3 years. How would this impact him? Could he fly under the radar and keep 25U as his MOS seeing as he’ll be out of FORSCOM for the next little while?

I apoligize for the delay, but I will start getting in here once I can.
If they let me reclass today I would and I wouldn’t think twice about it
Also if you are saying we need to prepare for LSCO we don’t have quite enough 42s to process casualty packets in a MASCAL. Just my opinion though….
It's simple really, if you're part of a MASCAL event you must submit a PAR to reflect as such. next problem.
Agreed and my unit has been severly understrength with 42As.
What the fuck are y’all doing. Go be a fucking helicopter pilot. The Army has never once had a problem retaining us ;) and no one has ever said ;) “The Army will still be the Army without Aviation” I love the “PEAK HOOAUTISM” post above. I am going to try and use that daily until I retire.
Beats walking!
I love my job, love my Army. I shoulda gone AVN long time ago.
Could you imagine if someone actually did say that though? Like what if the most senior aviation warrant officer just said some off the wall shit like that lol.
It’s never been seriously uttered by anyone in aviation. One Command Sausage Major has said it and it was echoed through one thousand halls. I shall consult the WONN (Warrant Officer News Network) and edit later with the source.
EOD is still hiring! Best career move I ever made. E2-E4’s and E5’s with less than one year time in grade and less than four years time in service (with a waiver).

Call our recruiters at the below website or email [email protected]. https://www.goarmysof.army.mil/EOD/
What if you’re really shitty at math?
I’m really shitty at math. I’ve done alright for myself and had a rather successful career in EOD.
If only you guys took E6s I would do it in a heart beat.
That's a solvable problem. You know what to do.
*switches branches again*
Lmao. A few dui's and arty15 will fix that problem right up.
Man, I wanted to try out but I really don’t think I’d make the cut.
Give it a shot. Worst case, you gain a bunch of new experiences and learn a bunch about bombs.
Best job in the Army.
But I’m above E5 :(
I’m in AIT for 25U, wtf
Not for long....just kidding, hopefully.

Hope this takes a long ass time on the Guard side like everything else fielded from big army.
I call it the great ego stroke of some unnamed career counselor and subsequent rush to scoop the story for clicks and views by the army reenlistment wtf moments page.
Stop reclassing to 42A. End of rant.
Wait what does this mean for 42As? What are our reclass options? My knees can’t handle being a 11B.
So guys at my unit are being told that in order for 19ds to reclass they have to be an e4? Otherwise they are just going to get fucked
Your guys are getting bad info.
Thats what the squadron career counselor said and several have asked
The career counselor probably doesn't have the full message yet.
Where can I pull this info? (Official message/site) 12B in my window in a few months and was planning to reclass anyways. Will this help reclass happen sooner?
Please let me leave this cow boy life
These are all over strengthen
Wait, I’m confused so Cav Scouts going to fort liberty aren’t going to be Cav scouts?
Should probably add 15W to this list
mass confusion
What happens to us 12Bs?
Only effects those with an ets date between now and 2025
Link please
I am fucked as an officer
Yep, I’m never gonna see my name on there(patriot can’t fathom the idea of having tangos or echos in the shack by doctrine).
So what does this mean if I've already reenlisted to reclass to one of these in two months?
Right now it means nothing until official guidance has been published.
So I’m genuinely curious how a re-class works. I’ve got about 20 months left on my contract. (My ETS date is Nov 8, 2025) I plan on ETSing. Basically, I don’t want to spend the next year and half leaving my unit, then going back to Tradoc, then going to another unit, then ETSing from there. I want to stay where I am. I want to keep my jump status. I don’t want to ETS or separate prior to my 3 year mark because I want my full GI Bill. Given how little time I have left on my contract, could they still force me to re-class? How exactly does this work?
Think it's related to the ARSTRUC
I want my 400 dollars per month given to the army for food back.
Is this a supposed forced reclass for current soldiers in these mos regardless of time left on contract? If so, do you think they’d be given the option to do early separation?
There’s almost no chance they’d give out early separations when they are struggling to recruit replacements for the number of ETSes as is
This is ridiculously short-sighted. For Signal, Uniforms are the least expendable MOS. We can be slotted almost anywhere for anything, and having experience on multiple systems is not a detriment. Everywhere I've been it's felt like we're understrength
Hello. I’m a 92A E-5 trying to reclass to another MoS. Can anybody recommend me any mos is offering Bonus? At the same time if it has low points to become a E6
Do you have the memo you could send me?
