Good evening,
I am a new, vetted member. I served 12 years in the Arkansas Army National Guard. First as an 13B Cannon Crew Member, then after my first enlistment I transitioned to an 11B Infantryman. I ETS'd in November 2018, just 9 months ago. I separated as an E-6 Staff Sergeant and a weapons squad leader. I deployed once to Iraq, Feb 2007-Feb 2008. We conducted convoy security and was awarded a CAB during the deployment.
I am currently in the process of reenlisting in the active Army, hoping for an 18X contract. I meet all the requirements for an SF contract, and it's taken a few months to get to the point I am now. I am hoping to go to MEPS next week for the physical portion. Then my recruiter will need to submit my waivers. Once they clear, I'll go back to MEPS to select my MOS.
I am 35 years old, and this is essentially my last shot at serving my country in the capacity I've wanted to for years. Any advise, or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your service.
