Do 72B slots exist in the Reserves? If so, do they accept direct commissioning, and how can I determine if I qualify?

Do they have 72B reserve slots? If so, do they accept direct commissioning? I re-enlisted recently, but 72B is my dream job. I was wondering if i qualify for the job. I wanted to hear some experiences. Appreciate any inputs.

What exactly is your question? "Any idea" is rather broad and vague. Focused questions get focused answers.

You would need to talk to a recruiter to find out if there are slots and if they are doing direct commisioning at the time. Do you meet the other requirements? If not, you could be working on them now - https://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/career-match/science-medicine/research/72b-entomologist.html (advanced degree, liscense to practice)
