Good evening, Gents,
I finished up my enlistment back in November of last year. I got out as a Sergeant and was a 2111 Small Arms Repair Technician (Armorer). After two deployments, I was really tired of my job. I had some questions regarding the reserves if theres any recruiters or prior service recruiters on here who might have some answers, as well as get some opinions.
I decided to get out and persue college because of a long term goal of mine which I didn't want to slip away if I stayed in. I was also sick of running armories. I was good at it, but honestly, I couldn't take it anymore. I loved being a Sergeant though.
I find myself missing a lot of the Corps now, as I know a lot of people do when they get out. Basically, I wanted to see if it was possible to lat-move to another MOS in the reserves from inactive duty. I still want to go to college, but if I can do both, I would be very happy.
As far as an MOS field, I know I will probably get a lot of flak for this, and I don't blame anyone. I was wondering if it was possible, how bad of a transition it would be to infantry. I am tired of being a POG. I know it can especially be a tough switch to infantry as an NCO, especially a Sergeant, into something so coveted and demanding, but I really would want it more than anything else. I just want to know if it's possible.
Thanks all for the help. As always, Rah.
