I am currently looking at joining the Army National Guard. I have been out of the Army Reserves since 2004. I am interested in commissioning but the recruiter wants me to re-enlist at my old MOS as a 92G. He thinks it would be better to do a one year contract and then drop an OCS packet after I am in a unit. If I am picked up for OCS I would sign a new contract, if not he says I will then have an out if I wanted to take it. During my time out I went to school and got my bachelors and masters. I have been working as an HR Director/Associate Hospital Administrator. I had questions about direct Commission into the AMEDD, but he didn’t address that question much. As a side note I hope to start law school in the fall.
I also would want to change my MOS if I had to re-enlist. Would that process be difficult? Right now he says sticking with 92G is the most simple and straight forward route to get me back in.
I wanted to get some thoughts on this process he has laid out for me.

LTC Charles T Dalbec - The problem with the written word is you cannot tell if what is said is sarcasm or not. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and saying it was.

You can enlist as an O9S (OCS cadet) and in 18 months (traditional route) you will obtain a commission. You can compete for accelerated, which is much shorter in duration, but will need to start in zero phase. Do not let a recruiter tell you this is not an option unless you do not meet the prerequisites/eligibility requirements, e.g., GT score of 110.

I would look for an amedd recruiter and not use a regular recruiter if you want to try to get dcs slot. Especially if you want to branch MSC if you are looking for something else then I would look at the law school route and become jagg.

SSG (Join to see) are you referring to the enlisted recruiter? They can process you for OCS and you can elect to branch MS. Keep in mind, however, that you need to be USAREC boarded to be appointed into the AMEDD. If you’re referring to the AMEDD recruiters, they may not have much of a mission for 70 series officers.

MAJ (Join to see) I'm referring to the AMEDD side, most AMEDD recruiters will only speak to you once you are accepted to a medical school or nursing program.

SSG (Join to see) - That is not correct. they work with non medical/nursing as AMEDD consists of 6 different branches. ( MS, SP, DC, MC , AN , VC)
For example MS has everything from IT , to clinical lab scientists
So they will talk to you if you have skillsets that line up to their mission and what branch you are going into within AMEDD.
