MOS change (Government & Administrative Law)

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:17:00 GMT

I am an 11B1P. Shortly after AIT, before I made it to a duty station, I went UA. Upon return, I received a field grade Article 15, making it 2 on my record.
I understand after 6 months of active duty, you can request an MOS change. I really want to switch to 35W so I can go to DLI. I have a DLAB score of 113 and am already proficient in German.
My question is, will the article 15's on my record prevent me from being able to secure a TS clearance and switch MOS's?

    Wrong
    You are trained in the MOS you enlisted for, the only way to change it
    is if you are incapable of duty in that MOS. Uncle Sam spent good money
    on your training
    You have no cards to play (AWOL & 2 Art 15s), the Army has them all
    The closest time you will have to change your MOS is when you are
    allowed (usually 24 mths from ETS date) to re-enlist, if you are allowed

  • You can forget about a TS in the near term, however, due to the recency of your AWOLs - I'm guessing they are recent since you seem to have less than 6 months active duty. It's a long, expensive process to create a proficient foreign language speaker and if you're not living up to your current commitment they may not want to take a chance on you.
    Also, if you wanted 35w originally, why did you sign up for 11B? I mean, is there something else in your background that you thought might prevent this originally?
    Finally, you're Army - we go AWOL. Marine Corps and Navy go UA.

    No, not at all. I have a crystal clear record. I just wanted to be in a specific unit. So I took another route.
    I've been in over 6 months now. Just wondering if this will be possible, or just a waste of time.
