If I can secure an 18x slot when I&#39;m finished with my degree and for whatever reason am a nonselect, am I more likely to go back to 13f since I am already MOS qualified, or be needs of the Army? Will my 13f MOS disappear after my IRR time?

Priority is your current qualified MOS.<br />B. Then needs of the Army.

Since 13F are pretty under strength in the Army, that&#39;s a possibility. But you&#39;ll also start out in Infantry OSUT so you&#39;ll have that MOS. But the Army can choose to reclass you to a Cook or Laundry and Bath specialist if HRC decides that&#39;s the MOS they need.<br /><br />Better option is you skip the 18X BS enlistment, pick a job you&#39;re willing to fulfill on a contract, and go to SFAS when you finish AIT.

I made it 3 weeks into SF and failed miserably. If it’s what you wish to do go for it. But don’t be surprised if you fail.

Why not just attend selection and take the guess work out if it ?

If you make it that far and fail out at some point there are few options. I saw a few guys get offered RIP, EOD and Civil or PSYOPS. Most got sent to 82nd as 11B1Ps. I only saw one guy not do one of those options and he went to a new Air Cav unit that was started in &quot;06.
