I EASed out of the Marine Corps 20170317. I am seriously considering joining the Army now. Any tips?

I only got out because of a messy divorce. Now that it's finally finalized, I still feel like I have more to offer.

Pro tip: go Airborne, whatever MOS you pick (as long as it's not something that doesn't have airborne like tankers).

So supply side, 92 series, has good senior promotions and you can be assigned to any base.

Edit: as mentioned, go airborne while you can get it in your contract if that's your thing.

Make sure you choose a career field that aligns with your desired post military career field. The recruiter will try to sell you on career fields that may be in high demand, but are useless to you in the long run. Don't settle for something with no civilian equivalent. It's a waste of your time. You have an opportunity in the Army to do a lot more schools and training than you did in the Corps, plus much more accessible access to tuition assistance. Make sure you use it.

Don't limit yourself, talk with prior-service recruiters for all Armed Services. Consider what MOS/AFSC you want to serve in and the opportunities they are offering. Pick the offer that most closely matches you personal life goals.
