MOS Concerns

[rbutler2]

I am thinking very seriously about joining the guard but I am confused about something..... The MOS I want, 68T animal specialist, do I automatically get this mos or is there some sort of waiting list or something?? I live in georgia but could relocate

From what i understand you talk to your recruiter tell him/her what u want to do..and they fill out the paper work.. i want to be 19D -Calv Scout- althou im already in i dont become a 19D until i go to basic and AIT where then after u r MOSQ...talk to your recruiter aboiut it if you dont trust him find someone else who may know more over the topic :)

The Army National Guard does not have this MOS. What else interests you?

To get a certain MOS ...

You must meet qualifications for the MOS (e.g., physical, mental, clearance; sometimes gender and age).
Your state must have a valid vacancy in that MOS, or authority to go overstrength. You can't have a job that doesn't exist.
You must accept the offer. Sometimes, the job is farther from home than you'd like, or the MOS has no bonus, or the deal has some other requirement that you don't prefer (e.g., a long AIT).
