MOS, as always, is a mutable consideration. I have my preferences. I made a list, actually. But I understand that when it comes down to the grind stone, it’s about what the Army needs over what I want.
I would like to eventually pursue commission. Once I have finished my degree (not long now), I will look into OCS and hopefully become an officer.
This is not a short-term goal. It’s not a whim, or play time. This is something in the making for many years, and I am finally pursuing it. I intend to make my military service my career. This isn’t about getting money for college, or just getting training and getting out. This is for the long haul.
I am not engaged in any activity or business that will suffer from extended deployments, unless you count the strain on a marriage. At worst it means I have to wait before I take more college courses, or I have to miss a few seasons of softball.
I would personally visit your state Adjutant General Office or similar command structure for your state and tell them you want guidance as to how to pursue and zero in on a Officer track enlistment for as close to a full time career with the Texas Guard as you can achieve.
I bet they give you a recruiter type appointment but you can drill down to the specifics of what units are near where you desire to live etc.
btw I know know what surface main tech really is i thought it was actaully blacktoping road so I asked why are they always needing these guys. turns out they work at CSMS could be a mechanic or electronics technician.
