I’m in the process of enlisting active duty In the army. Is 68G a hard MOS to secure a slot in? I have
The score to get it. I just want to know if it’s rarely a open position.

It's a moderately low density MOS. Unfortunately, you won't know if slots are open/available until you go to MEPS to process.

Our ARA is a 68G in the Reserves and for our area there are no slots for an E6. We are supposed to have slots when we change to a Field Hospital in the new FY. She has been waiting quite a while. Not sure about the active side though.

CSM Michael Chavaree Might be able to help with this.

You absolutely do not want that MOS. It's extremely low density, difficult to promote, very limited open slots and almost always overstrength. It's the kind of MOS you go into if your goal is to stay an E4 for 3-4 years and then ETS as an E4.
