https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/does-optioning-to-be-navy-reserve-have-an-affect-on-job-availability-and-my-ability-to-enlist <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I passed the medical at MEPS and got an 88 on the ASVAB, but when it was time to pick a classification, the recruiter told me that there weren&#39;t any jobs available right now and so I wasn&#39;t able to enlist. Is that possible? And if it is, how long do I have to wait until a job opening comes up? Did optioning to be a navy reserve have an affect on the job availability? I want to be part of the military, but I also have a civilian career that I want to pursue and if the military is going to take a while, I might back out from joining.

They just don’t enlist people at random. There has to be a slot open in a unit LTC Jason Mackay Sat, 15 Feb 2020 00:43:51 -0500 2020-02-15T00:43:51-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/does-optioning-to-be-navy-reserve-have-an-affect-on-job-availability-and-my-ability-to-enlist?n=5561190&urlhash=5561190 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you want a guaranteed job, go Army. If you want a guaranteed culture, pick a certain branch. Army is the only branch that guarantees all enlistees their MOS prior to enlistment. In the Navy you might have to join as an unrated or as a rate you don&#39;t want. SFC Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 15 Feb 2020 05:21:20 -0500 2020-02-15T05:21:20-05:00 2020-02-14T23:25:03-05:00
