    I was shooting for this job during my enlistment. The job wasn't available at MEPS so I had to do a reno. After another week of waiting and getting the right paperwork done, I got very lucky and was able to land this MOS. I ship out in about 2 months and I can't wait!

    Recently got a 46S reclass slot from infantry as a reenlistment incentive. I leave for DINFOS early next year. It's not impossible to get this as an option, although yes, you will probably have to wait a while for a slot. Looking forward to the new career.

      @MikeHunnisett  8 місяців тому +1

      If you’re in the reserves the hierarchy will likely be the same, except you’ll just do the job on that drill weekend, for annual training you’ll usually attach to a unit or go to a training exercise to train

    Hello, I enlisted as ARMY Reserve for 92A in May. I cheap out on July 29. I wanted Public Affairs, but to go Active. Unfortunately on my GT I got 97 and Public Affairs is 107 on GT. Do you think later on is easy to retake the ASVAB and try to change my MOS and go active?

      25V just turned into 46V, search the 25V also known as "combat camera", you probably find more information that way.

      There are! Public Affairs Officers are typically (in the Army) 1LT(P) and above, since it isn’t a branch you can commission directly into.
