SPC (Join to see) - You will do the Dream Sheet at MEPS (unless that changed). But, you won't really find out until usually right before AIT ends when you get your follow on orders.

It seems like everybody has their synopsis of what to do. Talk to most e’vodyvyou can.. some have really good info. And some tell a “sad sack” tale.. take those with a good belt of something smooth after yiu’ve Transitioned.. just take the bad with the good.. life isn’t always perfect.. good fortunes in your transition!

Depends, if you're under 48 months active federal service then you will have the choice to reclass or stay your current MOS. If you stay your same MOS you can choose a duty station based on what is available.

I’m currently a 74D and I reenlisted 2016 September. I am prior service and was out for 8 years and came back in last year. What might you think with that SSG

So the important thing is how much active federal service do you have on your last DD 214? If you were in the reserves for 10 years but were only activated for AIT and Basic that is all they count.

How does the amount of AFS play into it?
