I’m in the middle of the process to prepare for the Direct Commissions Board at October. My recruiter from AMEDD told me that her mission is Reserve Component. I am AGR/Active Duty paycheck and my big concern is that I will have to quite to the full time job to go back to TPU status and technically become unemployed with family expenses. I would like to know if is any help around here about this situation. I really don’t want to be unemploy but I work so hard for that Direct Commissions that I don’t know what to do.

Maybe that’s the only vacant position for 72d. When I first started speaking to AMEDD recruiters (and before I had my eyes set on 72d), the only positions open were 70b in the reserves. Then again I’m no expert and could be completely wrong.

If you are AGR and you accept a commission you will lose your AGR position. They are MOS and rank based depending on the requirements of the unit.

I understand Sir, my concern is that I want to Commissions and go Active Duty and I’m so worried that If i wait longer or just stop this process will mark any future try just because I reject this one.

You need to find a job while you wait and don't feel bad if you work it for one week, three months, or whatever. When I graduated nursing school, I waited three months for OBC and worked a job for three months. They were not happy but I too had bills to pay. Regarding a direct commission, AMEDD is going through lots of changes with DHA, weekly. A lot of cutbacks and while I am not in recruiting and have no idea what our needs are, I will say direct commissions are often times where cuts are when cuts are needed and when personnel are needed, the lush assignments go to direct commissions and hammer the ROTC grads. It is all about what is needed where and when. I recommend you also look at other branches and how they do your speciality. If I was single and a company grade officer, I would switch to the Navy in a heartbeat because I like what I see there better and it is worth a look for many.
