Career Field Reboot: If you could choose a different military career field now, would you? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/career-field-reboot-if-you-could-choose-a-different-military-career-field-now-would-you <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I changed career fields at the 11th hour in the Navy Reserve nearly five years ago. Once the training was complete, I knew that I needed to deploy shortly after to gain real world experience and establish my credibility. At 18 years time in service, would you consider doing the same move I did by changing careers?

I chose what is today 42A, HR Specialist. Because of a change in MTOE while I was attending BCT and AIT, I was reclassed, involuntarily, immediately on returning to my unit.<br /><br />It's the best job I never chose.
