Not that I don't understand your preference, I obviously do, however, I was !merely curious...!ist it he in that MOS? Would you want to try for anything else in Armu? Any college? Assocs? Bach? Would you want Reserve, AGR, or Guard or Reserve tech at all? Have you looked at other svcs at all as well? I'd just wondered, I entirely realize you're likely focused on what you'd said, certainly...I'd just he most interested to hear more, so far as you !might elaborate at!all...college majors? Grades? GPAs? STEM coursework? Non-STEM? Any flight interests at all? Cyber? Just throwing out different ideas, honest, I have an interest in career/educ topics....

This only needs high school...if you want combat arms anyway, to not try for it would be a potential total waste, whether as pilot or mav/WEO, we had a family friend who was Ar!y enlisted, got it, then did his Bach in aviation at E!bry Riddle, Army released him, USCG picked him up, jemfimisjed his 20 years with ten as am O+3...if he could do it, so can you, I thimk.

Look, as I hope is evident by now, I've been all over this longer than God:s been alive, I assure you, I honestly think it'd be nowhere as hopeless as you think, honest...look at all I sent, look up analogous things for all tje svcs, incl USCG...it'd depend on what you'd want, whether yud want to use the Bach for what you took coursework in, or to try to !ale lemonade out of your lemons, using it in a combat at!s context...that you're prior enlisted would certainly speak well of you, I can't imagine you couldn't find some way to go warrant or commissioned, provided you give me sufficient detail to suggest things for you, OK? Trust me and do as I suggest, OK? Do a detailed biosketch, and tell !e everything, so all of us can help you, the more you relate the more I and others can suggest, OK?

It’s the Guard, so unless you can get an AG soot, then there a lot less training time, and much longer between training events

I'm a 13F in the guard. Your experience will depend on the type of unit you would go to. If you got a artillery battalion you would do the same stuff but maybe call for fire once a year with some time in the CFFT. However you can get stuck in a BDE or DIV were you will do fire support and spend more time playing with AFATDS and fire planning. So see what type of units the state has and you may get a chance to decide where you go. If not look into something you would like to do and just reclass.

There are a lot of 13F jobs in the Utah Guard. They even have AG 13F jobs. Artillery is big in Utah. Not sure what state you are in, but in the right state, 13F is a golden ticket.
