What Are The Chances That I Will Be Placed In The Mos Of My Choice?

I am thinking of either joining the Army Reservists or the Army National Guard. I am currently a college student approaching my senior year in college, studying sociology. My ultimate goal is to be a counselor and my dream MOS would be a mental health specialist (68X). This would be my dream job but what are the real chances I could get this MOS? There are several reasons why I want to join now. It is an 8 year commitment so I want to make sure I’m making a good choice.

  1. As a member of either the Reserve or NG you need to be within a reasonable distance from a unit with that MOS available. Getting what you want is easy if it is close by. In the NG it might not be available at all. They are geared more towards combat arms. The Reserve is support primarily.

  2. Transfer to an Army University. Your options are granted to you to pick and choose when it comes to educated Soldiers !

  3. army gives you the mos you want.
