Hello, I am looking to see if the Army Reserves will be recruiting 70B in the near future.

I have my bachelor's in public service leadership. Will finish my Master's In Public Administration end of the year, and plan on continuing.

Reason for 70B is I am a career Firefighter EMT and run a business that involves medical triage treatment and care.

Thank you for any help.

70B can be direct commission (I had DCC with a couple) I also almost direct commissioned as a 70B when no 72C slots were available.

It’s a very competitive AOC though because many enlisted who have a bachelors degree and want to go officer for AMEDD apply for it.

Did you see any slots for a 70B in the Reserve manning charts?

I tried that last year, gathered all paperwork, but no openings.

I don't know, but I've been told that AMEDD kept its Dust off pilots MSC rather than getting Army Air Corps pilots when the AAC was reformed. I guess most of the other branches that had pilots lost theirs to AAC. Do not know if AMEDD direct commissions their pilots
