Sound advice really needed.

I am currently stationed in Korea, in an MOS I don't want to be in (forced to reclass to). Due to the fact I my AIT training was 1 year long, I have a 29 month service obligation to my current MOS. Which means I'm able to reclass in July 2016, my current ETS is September 2016; I don't feel safe waiting that long to reenlist for reclassification, nor do I want to be in this MOS for said time.

I spoke with my unit retention NCO and she said the only way out is thru a packet MOS. Which is why Im aiming for SF. My current issue is my NCO "Support" Channel not backing me on going. I was basically feed a bunch of BS reasons as to why they won't support me in going, and was told "just go tdy en route to SFAS, better yet get stationed at Fort Bragg." I'm smart enough to know you can't go to SFAS tdy enroute, this being told to me by an E7 once stationed at Bragg.

I have 6 months remaining in country and my goal is to go to SFAS within the next 3 months, so that when it's time for me to come down on assignment I know I'll be going to Bragg and why. Most importantly I don't want to PCS knowing I have to stick with this MOS.

I've completed my packet I just need to forward it to the Pacific Region recruiter in Hawaii. My plan was to speak ask to speak to my 1SG on the situation, and if needed work my way up.

Can anyone offer any advice on going about this the right way. I don't want to wait until I PCS, I remember during my brief the recruiter telling us if we want to do it do it know. Latee on things will be thrown at you and you'll lose your opportunity.

Thanks in advance.
