Currently neither of these MOSs are available for Active Duty non-prior service; you have to do your time and be either E-4 or E-5. Anyone know what MOS I should consider to increase my chances of switching over to one of these once I gain enough rank?

I’ll be going in as an E-3.

Engineers, Chemical, Patient Administration Specialist, Medical Supply Specialist , Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, Machinest, Preventive MedicIne Specialist, Animal Care Specialist, Military Police, and Intelligence Analyst. Is what it is for the reserves or National Guard. They say there is none if your regular army.

With PSYOPS the most important thing is getting a 100 on your DLAB.

   psyop is definantly an MOS to consider in the long run, its part of specials operations command and its an airborne mos. promotions are very good and its a job to hold your head high in, the only negative part about it is that the only duty station is ft. bragg but in the long run its worth it you work with all of us the special forces, 75th ranger, and its all around a big mos in the army

   Military Intelligence, as they work closely with Psyop and CA.

   And its not Psyops. The British are Psyops. We’re Psyop. No ‘s’

   you should ask for an airborne assignment while in basic or ait
   if you havent put it in your contract already
   since you will have to be airborne in either one anyways
   might as well get it out of the way

   that and pick a mos w/ secret clearance cause you will need that too
   once you have those two pick the mos with the lowest cutoff scores to make your 5. that should help narrow it down some
