On my Picat, I got a 59 AFQT which is pretty average I think. The next day my recruiter gave me a list to pick from with every MOS I Qualified for and I picked my top ten. After that, I went back to MEPS to swear in and they had already picked 11b as my MOS (which was not in the top 10). I Said I Didn't pick 11b and they basically said they picked it for me. It's too late now obviously but I just thought about it do they just pick for everyone whatever the army needs or was I just being an idiot?

No, you get to choose what MOS you want! That’s one of the main purposes for line scores! Your recruiter supposed to been taken care of you so that MEPS wouldn’t have to choose for you!! I met the requirements to be a MP and got that job! All of my battle buddies got the MOS they requested as well! Maybe there’s something I don’t know, but this the first time I’ve heard of such situation!

It is all based on what is available at the time you enlist. There are periods in which a lot are available, and there are stretches where nothing is available based on the number of available recruits.

The way it works is the jobs that you qualify for are based off your ASVAB score. The higher you score, the more jobs you qualify for.
The Army has needs that are constantly changing. At the time you went in there was a need for 11B hence why it was pushed. Now here is what the recruiters and MEPS don't tell you. You can refuse that. They cannot DO squat about it. You cannot be forced to take an MOS you did not want. However it is up to you to say no to it. Because once you sign the dotted line and swear the oath and head out to BCT, that is it...
You have to tell them no, this is what I want. That I did not choose this and will not accept it. Sometimes they try pressure tactics relying on the recruit being naive. Do not allow that to happen.
