Currently, I’m in the AF reserve as a medic but am trying to enlist in the Army AD. I know there is a thing call prior service business rules for the Army. Is it likely I might be able to keep my job and just brush up on 68W AIT. I know Nothing is guarantee until I go back and talk to a GC at meps. Just trying to get some insights. Has anyone ever been in this predicament?
Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS)
Prior Service
Advanced Individual Training (AIT) - 68W

Emergency Medical Technician - Basic (EMT-B)

You will need to submit a sister service conversion check through your recruiter. If it comes back favorable then good to go. If not then you will select from what is needed. You will also attend basic again and have your credentials checked to see if you will retain your rank or not.

Keep you type job, maybe, just brush up at AIT unlikely. Depending on your assesssmentvyou may need to attend BT as well. Either way you need to acculturate into the Army, very different from the AF. Thank you for your service.

I wasn’t just at meps yesterday switching from reserves to active when I got there they asked if I would like to maintain my current MOS and he assigned a duty station or call the ROC and ask for a new MOS, (I chose a new MOS by choice) but my experience from yesterday would say that if you would like to keep your MOS you can and will not go back to AIT just straight to a duty station that I’m assuming will be based on the needs of the Army

Hopefully you will my understanding of the business rules is that they are rules limiting someone’s ability to reclass so asking to maintain your MOS is the default and you must meet one of the exceptions to be allowed to switch MOS like for me I was allowed to switch from 92F to 11X because I have less than 179 days on active duty (since I was a reservist)

Yeah. That what I was thinking but who knows what the GC might tell me. I have 10 months of active time so that’s out of the loop for me.. hopefully I can just keep it or go to something similar like 68C
