Prior service looking to reenlist. My prior service was in the army branch? Looking to get back in, in the cyber security field? I finish the semester of school I'm taking in a month in a half?

Any advice for getting the MOS I want? I did have a really high asvab when I originally joined?

I suggest that you go to the Army Recruiting station and take the station commander out for coffee and seek guidance. No guarantee here but you’d know a lot more than what you know now.

Are you in the IRR or are you completely discharged? That too will make a difference too. If you are in the IRR and your MOS is required guess what. You “get what you got”. If out and your line scores do not meet minimum requirements you will get whatever is available and the guidance counselor would tell you what that is. That is why you need to meet with the Station Commander and not the recruiter who’s job would be just to get you to the Meps Guidance Counselor for a potential position.

Without knowing more about your situation that’s all I can recommend.
Hooah???

LTC Charles T Dalbec, I'm out of the IRR. My scores were really high when I got in. I've been completely out of the military since 2016. Sounds like a good idea of bringing the commander for coffee may have to if will get what i want.

So you completed your eight year
Military Service Obligation and was discharged and you have your discharge certificate. Follow my guidance and let me know after you meet with the Station Commander. Ok!!

Just stick to your guns. If they tell u it isn’t available, walk away and tell them to contact you when it is. Look the Army did not make its mission this year. A lot of factors play into that so as long as u stick to wanting cyber, then you will be fine. On the flip side don’t let them try and tell u well come in as this and then u can flip to that. That is a sham and they make it sound easier than it can be.

Depending on whether ur degree is a BS or Associates, u may not know u can also apply for a direct commission through the Army Medical Dept as a 70D or 70DN4 depending on ur classes and such. Also of course i am assuming u have over a 110 GT score. IT is a big need in the Army right now so if it’s a BS highly recommend u speak to an AMEDD recruiter in your area. Sooner than later also because at this point you would be pushing to make the board cut off.
