Good day to all,
I'm prior service, and currently reenlisting.I'm going back to MEPS for Army MOS selection in a couple of days. I have a list of MOS's I want, with my top choice being 35M or 35W. I physically qualified about two weeks ago, give or take, so I won't need any other medical stuff done. That being said, anyone know what my day will consist of since I'm not doing a physical or anything? And does anyone have any advice for when I speak to the guidance counselor?

35W is just the recruit MOS for 35M. Once you complete AIT, you will be given 35M as your MOS.
Your day will begin bright and early, you will select your MOS and if you want 35M, be prepared for one hefty contract and you being required to select a language and having to take the DLAB. I’m an instructor out at Huachuca and was told by a 35M instructor that most, if not all of their new students have a follow on to DLI.

Thanks, that clears up some confusion I had. I'm prepared to sign a heavy contract. Do you have any suggestions in terms of DLAB study guides and materials?

The DLAB is literally a made up language. You just have to be able to understand the context of itPFC Marquesas Joseph

As prior service you’re stuck with what never mos choices they give you. Just went back in 3 months ago and at ait for cbrn.

Yeah, that's what I was originally told too. But my Sergeant called DROC, I think that's what it's called, and due to my situation I'm not subject to the same business rules. I think that has to do with length of service and not being MOSQ'd anymore. But in case I do have other choices within the business rules so I'll keep that in mind.

I had a break in service for 2.5 years, prior 11B broke my knee had 2 surgeries and now a 74D with 2 weeks left at AIT. Best thing to do is pick an mos that will compliment the same career path you choose for when you get out. 11B had no civilian job qualification other then security. Choose your next mos wisely.

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I've put a lot of thought into my choice. I believe that this will be most conducive to the path I want to take.
