Re-Class During Bootcamp

SR.AO · 07-20-2009, 09:42 PM

Ah, good advice. Yeah I got a $6K bonus for AO. Yes, we all know my heart is set on MA, but I guess we'll take it as it comes.

You dont really get to re class at boot camp. They just go over your record with you. They never asked me if I wanted to change rates. They just said, ur an MA, do you have your drivers license, and thats it. So I dont think you can actually change your rate. I dunno, I could be wrong.

I've heard from numerous people and my recruiters they tell everyone which jobs are available and ask for volunteers to re-class if they want. BUT I heard they do this alot to alter your original contract that got you hooked and enlisted. This way they might be able to give you a new contract with no bonus, or get you in for more years. Or they say if you do another 2 years we'll add 1K to your bonus. stuff like that. They do it, but I dont think for everyone. Who knows.

You will not be able to reclass at boot camp unless it is into a special warfare program or they deny you your security clearance and they have to give you a new rating. They specifically told us during classification that you will not reclass nor change your current contract. Personally it seems your recruiters are lying to you to keep you happy.

well they're not lying to keep me happy since I dont WANT to re-class during BC. It would've been cool only if I got MA, and my contract didnt get changed too much
