 Changing
your Army MOS
Army Reclassification Overview
If promotion is slow in your MOS, and you’re within three years
of your RCP and are a SPC/CPL with 600 or more promotion points
or a SGT(P) with 700 or more promotion points, you may reclassify
as an exception to policy to a shortage MOS.
The reclassification packet must be processed in accordance with
AR 600-200, AR 611-201 and DA PAM 351-4. Your S1 will submit it
through the local reclassification branch to HRC. Just a reminder,
HRC’s reclassification branch no longer accepts faxed copies of
voluntary reclassification packets. Your installation G1/AG (strength
management) must submit the action via the retain system. They do
however, accept hard copies for mandatory reclassification actions.

Reenlistment and reclassification provide soldiers an opportunity
to move into a shortage military occupational specialty (MOS) and
improve career development/promotion opportunity consistent with
the needs of the Army.
AR
614-200, Enlisted Assignments and Utilization Management, and
AR
601-280, Army Retention Program, provide reenlistment/reclassification
authorities a tool to manage reenlistment, extensions and reclassification
of enlisted soldiers.
Army Personnel Command (HRC) disseminates reenlistment/reclassification
IN/OUT calls throughout the Army via electronic MILPER Messages
and on the automated reenlistment and reclassification (RETAIN)
system.
IN/OUT calls are at MOS and grade level of detail. The specific
IN/OUT call is adjusted, when necessary, based on the strength of
an MOS and availability of in-service training seats. Reclassification/reenlistments
require a reclassification or reenlistment control number (RCN)
which is obtained through RETAIN.
