While I was in I had a clearance, and I have been told that joining (again) would be the fastest way to re-obtain that clearance. However I would want to re-join with the MOS I had while I served. How much say would I have in picking that MOS, and would I need to go through AIT and all that again 15+ years after separating? If I was to rejoin the Army, could I pick my MOS? 2025-03-03T12:30:39-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 8954779 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It&#39;s been a while since I was in the Army.

That MOS is probably not the same as it was 15+ years ago with technology advances. That said, if you were able to qualify back then, most likely you can qualify now. Good Luck to you, that clearance is a golden ticket for sure.

Possible.<br /><br />You&#39;d be Prior Service Rules. Which means you&#39;re processed last. However, if the MOS is open when you speak with the CCs at MEPS, then boom there ya go.<br /><br />You may have to attend AIT again IOT get caught up to speed for the MOS.<br /><br />You may very well have to attend Basic again, as well.<br /><br />Your first step is to talk to a Recruiter Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 3 at 2025 2:46 PM 2025-03-03T14:46:24-05:00 2025-03-03T14:46:24-05:00 SSgt Christophe Murphy 8957374 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The only people who can answer your questions accurately and with current information would be the fine folks in your local recruiting office.
