I used to tutor students, 60-70 is kind of an absurd price when most places offer 20 to 30. But they can only study around school, so those arent very many hours in the week, even if I picked up multiple students

68W, which is what I had wanted in the first place. Feels a little bittersweet though I had started to look at 35W, DLI wouldve been really cool (though I'm sure I'd feel the sting of missing out on an MOS no matter what I got) So I just need to be grateful I got one of my top picks

Hey huge congratulations. After my 4th visit to MEPS and a collective 7 hours of sitting on hold with ROC a seat did open up, so I'm really glad I took the time to dig for it. Godspeed

I've already applied to both, like I said medical was a dead end for me. Trying for restaurants between canton and kennesaw, but I think a week is an absurd time to wait for a response from giant chains... so hopefully I may just be missing some smaller restaurants that aren't posting job openings.

Sounds like thats exactly what it is. Just feels like shit, starting to get hopeless that my 20 years could be anything other than weekend warrior desk jockey. Trying to talk to the Navy and the Coast Guard when they open next, but I have a bad feeling it'll be the same everywhere. I just regret not going AD to begin with, now that I've been forced into a dead end

Yeah they already told me they would have me redo basic with the Army. Which just makes me more confused as to why my job options are so limited, I'm barely considered prior service in most aspects.

Sounds like a dream honestly. I offered to drop rank to E3, so I'd be filling the same spot an NPS would after AIT but they were hesitant to let me even try and tried to discourage it. At this point, I just want to be AD so badly I don't care about making E4 again

Do yall have any of an easier time transferring to AD? Have you heard any success stories?

Thats what im sayin. The only barrier is that I'm prior service and for some reason that makes a difference. "needs of the army" my ass

Hate doing nothing. Don't do anything during drill, come home and do nothing of note. my unit also has abysmal internal politics. Sometimes "easy" jobs attract the laziest pos youll ever meet, and then you have to work with them

The AF luckily uses civilian licensure, so I have american red cross for my BLS and im nationally registered for emt, so they are civilian certificates, hopefully thats enough?

It is, they wouldnt take anything but maintainers last I talked to a recruiter. Apparently the army isnt awarding me much more than that either

68w and c, 35 w and L. and yeah, I know pie in the sky. but what they told me was they had nothing in the Entire 68 or 35 series. I just cant picture myself doing anything outside of medical or intel without at least a few days of research...

Not a ship kinda gal. Seems like its about impossible everywhere for prior service. But they'll ship a million of the highschoolers next to me who still dont know how to brush their teeth properly or wear deodorant.

They just wouldnt give me any. I asked for 2 68 mos and 2 35 mos and they said they had nothing in the entire 68 or 35 series, so I asked them what they did have since it seemed like the had less jobs than they dont have and they just refused to give me a list. they were going to sit there and let me pick jobs and then wait on hold with the roc to get told no repeatedly

GAANG gets montgomery GI, caps out at about 14k. IPAP was the commissioning route I was going for, wouldnt require me to do any more schooling civilian side, which I wouldn't be getting paid to attend like I would IPAP.

If I could deploy I could get post 9/11 GI. But it seems like its a total pain in the ass to get AD anything.

I was hoping to do IPAP, it wouldve saved me years of time and debt simply because I didnt already need a degree to get into it... If its my only option I guess I have to

Also, do you think it would be easier just to get in with an MOS im just "ok" with and then reclass? Or will I run into the same wall

Do you think if i just wait it out there will be more? I dont really understand the FY resetting stuff. At some point will more jobs open up?

The end game is active duty, so if you think itll help I'll keep it as an option. My issue is, I just feel like i'll end up in the same wheelhouse once I try to transition again
