REP-63 Feeder MOS

[amatlis]

Hello, I hope this is the right place for this.

I'm a civilian, going rep-63, currently negotiating with my recruiter over which entry mos to choose. Is it a new policy that rep-63 candidates must select a feeder MOS that matches the 18 series they pick? I had wanted to go 11B->18E, but my recruiter is saying I have to go to communications school 25U. If I want to go 11B, I have to select 18B. I'm an electrical engineer, so I thought 18E would be a better fit for me. I also thought the 18E school taught you everything you need to know. And don't all 18xrays go 11B regardless of which 18 series they end up in?

I'm asking because I want to know if I should or can negotiate with my recruiter to get 11B->18E. The contract process is still a mystery to me.

Thanks!
