PV2 Private RallyPoint Member 7456233 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;ve been out for a year due to medical and plan on reenlisting as active duty once I get my degree in psych, but don&#39;t want to have to put up the mediocrity of artillery again since I&#39;m already classed. I get my associates in psych this spring and plan on transferring to acquire my bachelors in counseling unless the position opens up. I miss the lifestyle and want to actually go this route, yet feel like it could be a lost cause due to this apparently being a rare MOS. What moves should I be making to ensure I get this opportunity? 2022-01-03T18:14:21-05:00 PV2 Private RallyPoint Member 7456233

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You talk to....a Recruiter. Then, when you go thru MEPS and get cleared and then go pick a job, you pick it if it&#39;s available. But, you&#39;d be falling under PS business rules. Again, talk to a Recruiter to start this ball

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What is your RE code?<br />Do you want to go Active or Guard/Reserve?<br /><br />Active is what you are qualified for out of what is available the day you are at MEPS.<br />Guard and Reserve is much easier to pick an MOS you qualify for, depending on how far you want to drive every month.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is no guarantee that there will ever be a 68X spot for you, or that when one comes available that you will get it first. Plus, if you&#39;re prior service, there are additional guidelines on which MOS&#39;s you&#39;ll be offered.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So you’re already in? What’s retention saying to you? I’m a 68X now and I have had people say they’ve been waiting a long while for a slot to open for them to reclass.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had 6.5 years as a 68X-20 and truly loved my military career. I have a degree BA inPsychology but may I recommend you look at your degree in Social work and get a commission. Very similar course work and you can get a commission to work in a medical counseling platform. You can always sign up for an open 68x slot and get that training but unless you have a PHD then you will get to do basic lever intake and introductory counseling. Happy to give you more info of the potential of the position as I pushed it thru it’s limits so I don’t want to discourage. I just want to make sure what you wanting to achieve is ultimately going to be what you get
