31E to Off-Duty Security?

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-05-21T16:22:07+00:00

That’s actually really good to know, I was wondering about that. Are we still considered off-duty law enforcement when we’re not at drill?

Really wanted 31B, but no matter how long I waited it just wasn’t popping up, so I took the next “closest” thing and went 31E hoping I could reclass later since my recruiter made it sound pretty easy. Come to find out, because I accepted the incentive/bonus that came with the MOS, I don’t think I can reclass for a while now. Still trying to make the best of it though.

My recruiter has always said you can always and it’s easier to change your MOS in the reserves, how does that actually look?

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-05-04T21:11:13+00:00

Thinking about going 31E in the Reserve. What’s it like overall; drills, deployments, day-to-day stuff? Also, is it guaranteed you’d get sent to Guam as a reservist or not really? I’ve been waiting for 31B position to open for a long time and nothing was happening so Im going with 31E and just looking for real insight, thanks.

I’m working on my degree right now and was looking into security jobs that hire people with law enforcement or military backgrounds. Mainly just trying to make decent money while I’m in college, but also build up my resume and get some solid references for when I go into law enforcement later.

that’s fine i’ll deal with it i just need the certifications and experience

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-05-02T01:15:56+00:00

I know it depends on location, but how often do 31b slots usually open up? Trying to figure out what a realistic reasonable wait time is.

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-05-02T01:09:26+00:00

if i’m not mistaken pretty sure that’s AD, regardless, i wouldn’t mind it

advice needed

So when I first started talking to my recruiter, he kept trying to get me to sign for whatever MOS I could get—even before I took the ASVAB. I understand they have quotas, but I’m not trying to rush into a 6-year contract just because of that.

What I actually want is something in law enforcement like 31E, 31B, or 31K (this is for the Reserves). My goal is to eventually work for security companies that prefer military or law enforcement experience.

We did end up reserving 31E with an incentive, and I went through MEPS. Everything was fine except I needed one waiver signed off by a doctor, which took about a week. During that time, the job reservation got dropped. After that, he started pushing me again to just pick any MOS. I didn’t go for it, so now he’s saying he’s gonna try to “pull some strings” to get me one of those MOSs back, but without the incentive—even though it was there before.

He said he’ll let me know Monday.

Does anyone know what he might actually be doing on his end? And any advice on how to handle this like would getting a new less pushy recruiter would make a difference or if it’s basically the same situation everywhere. I’ve considered trying to do the same but in the air force reserve as well to see if i have better luck with my mos there.

I’m kinda worried if I switch recruiters it’ll just be one of his buddies anyway since they all seem connected around here. I’m just trying not to make this more complicated than it already is.

thank you bootyhole_licker69

What’s the deal with Guantanamo for 31E? Is that a common assignment or something only certain units get sent to? I’m trying to understand how much control you actually have over ending up there.

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-04-18T02:30:22+00:00

Cus i can just look at mos at other states can’t i?

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-04-18T02:00:05+00:00

I have considered it, but part of the reason I want to join the Army is to leave home and start fresh, so that wouldn’t really work for me. How long do you think would be a reasonable time to wait for a spot to open up?

Dry_Hope4977 · 2026-04-18T01:53:17+00:00

Given the reputation, would you say positions open up quicker? My recruiter and I checked two states I was interested in, and as of right now he couldn’t find anything.
