Seeking for advice on 72D Direct Commissions?

Maybe that’s the only vacant position for 72d. When I first started speaking to AMEDD recruiters (and before I had my eyes set on 72d), the only positions open were 70b in the reserves. Then again I’m no expert and could be completely wrong.

If you are AGR and you accept a commission you will lose your AGR position. They are MOS and rank based depending on the requirements of the unit.

You need to find a job while you wait and don't feel bad if you work it for one week, three months, or whatever. When I graduated nursing school, I waited three months for OBC and worked a job for three months. They were not happy but I too had bills to pay. Regarding a direct commission, AMEDD is going through lots of changes with DHA, weekly. A lot of cutbacks and while I am not in recruiting and have no idea what our needs are, I will say direct commissions are often times where cuts are when cuts are needed and when personnel are needed, the lush assignments go to direct commissions and hammer the ROTC grads. It is all about what is needed where and when. I recommend you also look at other branches and how they do your speciality. If I was single and a company grade officer, I would switch to the Navy in a heartbeat because I like what I see there better and it is worth a look for many.
