I read the rules on occupational reassignment the other day, so lets hope I get this right.
An occupational reassignment is when you change trades, and you are not yet QL3 qualified in a trade.
No longer can you do an occupational reassignment in basic training like you could before.
To do an occupational reassignment, you must submit in writing your request. You can submit this request either:
after 30 days into your occupational training (QL3); or
afer 90 days post-BMQ employment.
Once you are QL3 qualified in the trade you joined up as, I believe than you can no longer ask for an occupational reassignment, which means you need to meet the time requirements of LOTP, AVOTP or COTP (or the officer versions of those programs) before you can request an Occupational Transfer.
Please anyone add to this is I missed a point or got something wrong.
