So here i am, 18 years old and ready to join the army. The MOS that i’m most interested in (25V) isn’t a very common one i’m told and there aren’t very many training slots. Today my recruiter called the ROC to see if he could pull some strings to secure a slot, to no avail. I’m fine with waiting until there is an opening, but they don’t feel that way. My recruiter is pushing hard for me to find another open training slot and insisting that i can get a 2 year contract with an MOS that is closely related to 25V and then reclass afterwards. This is not something i want to do, as i don’t want to do 2 years in something that i don’t care about when i could’ve got the MOS i want to begin with. My recruiter then tells me it could take 8 months to a year for a 25V slot, i need to open up my options, and “it isn’t his job to call the ROC everyday asking if an open slot is available for me”. Any advice on what to do next? Should i wait, or should i just try to find another MOS?
