I met a 28 year old who has a Bachelors of Science in sport sciences and Masters of Science in Exercise Science and Health Promotion. He is in perfect health, meets all recruiting standards. He is interested in MOS/AOC aligned to his background, he is not feeling challenged in his civilian career. He is coming to me for advice knowing my background as an Army Reserve officer. I know the Army Reserve side, I want to give him all service options to explore. What would you recommend to this young man?
In the Army a Master Fitness Trainer is an ASI, not an occupation (Military Occupational Skills /Area of Concentration).

SFC Charles S. Outstanding! Thank you for the link, there happens to be a medical command near Columbus, OH. I am talking to the company commander now to determine options.

LTC John Shaw Sir, no problem. If he has those kinds of credentials I'm pretty sure AMEDD would love to talk to him. That you have already greased the skids with the CDR helps also.

He qualifies for a lot more than just the 65B, but that was the link I posted for example. If he wanted to look at there Dr. Program and was interested he should qualify for that too.

His education closely aligns with USAF Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR). Other Services probably have a different name for the same function. Almost all of MWR is civilianized so military involvement is at the management level in Services Squadrons.
Your friend should talk with USAF, AFRES, and ANG recruiters. With an advanced degree he should be a good candidate for a commission. Not sure but his education might translate to medical administration.

Army would challenge him. But all services would challenge in their own way. How challenged does he want to be?...lol
There are Physical therapists in all branches. If that is up his alley.

SSG (Join to see) His background is not physical therapy, it is a related area but like all medical specialist, they are all experts in their category. Kind of like in IT, I am app dev, you are likely more sys admin & end user support, very similar but different enough that I won't give you credit for coding and you won't give me credit for updating operating systems or being a sys admin.
