Hi! So my 368 has been approved and I am currently filling out paperwork with my active duty recruiter to go to meps to go fulltime. I am green medically, and have a 90 on my asvab. I asked my recruiter what jobs I could be elligible for because I want to reclass, but he told me he honestly cant tell me whats available until I go to MEPS.

My question is, is there anybody here that went from Guard to Active? And if so, when you went to MEPS, how many (or few) jobs were available to you? Im just trying to get an idea of what I could possibly get and what not. I know as an E4 and below there are more options..

Thanks for your time

Being prior service at the MEPS is like shopping at a used car lot when you have bad credit. They have what they have on hand that day and you need them more than they need you.

You won't like what I say but feel compelled to tell you my story. I transitioned from Reserves to Active Duty and scored perfect on the ASVAB. The recruiters told me Infantry and Tank Mechanics were the only jobs available to me. I said bullshit and started to walk out of the office, and they gave me like 20 jobs available. Keep in touch with us.

The recruiters at the recruiting office or at MEPS? Thank you for your feedback?

1SG Walter Craig - I was very upset the way they tried to play me knowing others were probably tricked into an MOS they did not want. There is also the dishonesty part that pissed me off.

Okay lets see if we can work on this MEPS Jobs available? They have what they have you can never tell until you meet with them. Remember your reclassing that means "The needs of the Army". They could offer In flight missile repair the promotions are great but people don't last long. Just kidding but.
They will offer you what ever they have at that moment that fits your ability. They have a list of the needs for the Army and they are required to fill those spots 1st. Good Luck and choose wisely.
