DO YOU GET TO CHOOSE YOUR MOS WHEN JOINING THE US ARMY OR?

YES AND NO... ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN. CURRENTLY, IF YOU'VE LEFT THE ARMY FOR 5 OR MORE YEARS YOU'LL BE EXPECTED TO REDO ARMY BASIC TRAINING. ADDITIONALLY, IF GOING ACTIVE DUTY, YOU'LL BE SUBJECTED TO PRIOR SERVICE RULES WHICH IS A LIMITED LIST OF MOS'S OPPORTUNITIES TO CHOOSE FROM AND THEN THERE NEEDS TO BE A VACANCY. FOR GUARD OR RESERVE, THE SKY IS LESS LIMITED AND IF OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE AND AVAILABLE YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU WANT. AS LONG AS YOUR ASVAB SCORES ARE ON REDD REPORT, NO NEED TO RETEST.

I just enlisted last month on an age waiver (I’m 40), and I was only able to choose from the top 5 MOS that they needed to fill. Ended up choosing 92Y. Hope to eventually get into 35F like I had planned before they sprung that on me, after my first contract is up. Thank you for all your videos, they’re super helpful!

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Congrats and welcome to our Fam! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼 Good luck and best wishes in Training! 💪🏼 Make the best of it, have fun and do your best!

I was originally supposed to be 35L but I backed out of the first swearing in.. that was hard and awkward. But I switched from active duty to the reserves and I’m now a 91B. I’m more than grateful to be in the reserves. It was the best decision for my family and my unit is awesome especially the motor pool it’s nice getting to look forward to drill weekends

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

Excellent choice and glad it all worked out for you! Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

The Army is the only branch you get to choose your actual job. It’s also the only branch with automatic promotion to E4 as long as you maintain height/weight, pass PT test, and stay out of trouble E1-E4 is pretty much automatic.

[@victorarredondo304]

I heard you need a bachelor's degree to start as an E4 right away.

[@victorarredondo304]

What if your desired job full? Can the recruiter apply for a vacancy???

[@showmeyourdaleel6568]

You have to pick an mos that has an open slot.

[@kurei2620]

You can wait for an open spot, at least my recruiter let me lol but it can be further out and no bonus

[@showmeyourdaleel6568]

@@kurei2620 I wouldn’t care to much about your MOS. I was a plumber 12k and deployed to Iraq as a detainee operations guard at Camp Bucca.

[@TEAMSWARTZ]

If going Active Duty, otherwise eligible for the MOS of choice and can wait it out… wait for a vacancy to open up. If going Guard/Reserve… in most cases, MOS means nothing. Thank you so very much for watching this video and I hope you stay blessed! 🇺🇸🙏🏼
