Army Occupational Therapist (65A). Could you please provide me with information on any of the questions listed below?
I am prior service and currently in my last semester of OT school. I was just notified that I was selected as a 65A. From reading other post, I have been able to piece together the general expectations and time frame of the process but I still have a few unanswered questions that my recruiter was unable to provide information on. Thanks in advance for any and all information!!
- Is there a deployment schedule/rotation for AMEDD officers? When I was active duty Air Force we were in "buckets" that rotated regularly. Does the Army have something similar?
- What rank should I expect to receive? I have 4 years of prior service and will have my Masters of Occupational Therapy. What I read on the constructive credit was very confusing.
- With prior service from 2004-2008, am I eligible for the High-36 or is the BRS my only retirement options?
- Other than private loans not being eligible, is there any additional fine print regarding tuition reimbursement that I should be aware of?

I’m a 65B but I know several 65As from BOLC and other training. If you would like me to put you in touch with them just shoot me a message. I imagine their role will change somewhat as H2F rolls out over the next few years. I believe tier 1 BDEs are each going to get their own OT. In that role you deploy whenever the brigade does.

I converted this to an update. We need you to break this up into more focused questions. A generic question with a bunch of subquestions defeats the purpose of the website's design. Your primary question goes into a database that serves to help others whenever they search for the same question. Nobody will search for "Could you please provide me with information on any of the questions listed below?" However, they might search for "Is there a deployment schedule/rotation for AMEDD officers?" or "Other than private loans not being eligible, is there any additional fine print regarding tuition reimbursement that I should be aware of?"
