I am a prior enlisted ARNG. I am finishing my MSW (later this week). I am interested in coming back as a social worker and working with fellow soldiers in the field. I have been contacted by several ARNG recruiters about coming back as a direct commission 73A now that I will have my MSW. From my own research with AMEDD you need to have an LCSW. I am just curious to learn about some of your experiences going into this field especially if you are direct commission. Thank you for your time and for your service!

Periodically, the AMEDD allows potential 73A's to complete their post MSW internship on AD. Contact the AMEDD C&S for more details.
