Prior Service business rules Army

In regards to Prior Service MOS eligibility, what if you are considered PS but never finished your MOS pipeline due to injury? Only eligible for retraining slots?
 
Welp, maybe that two years of Arabic in college will give me a slight head start in Pashto. But then again probably not.
 
Thread bump!

Does anyone have any information similar to that above, but as it applies to those of us on the O-side of the house? I'm looking into the possibility of essentially a Blue to Green type transfer, but only if I can get a slot for the Q course. I understand they won't say "Sure, Capt! Welcome to SF!" All I'm looking for is information on whether or not it's possible to go Blue to Green with a guaranteed chance to at least try out for SF.

Otherwise, I'm not really interested in Blue to Green.

PRIOR SERVICE BUSINESS RULES
PRIOR SERVICE ACCESSION BUSINESS RULES FOR ENLISTMENTS INTO THE REGULAR ARMY.

The Prior Service Business Rules acts as a guide for Soldiers who are interested in reenlisting in the regular Army. The rules generally outline when and how a Soldiercan reenlist, and which MOSs are available.

The current Prior Service Business Rules went into effect on 5 Jan, 2015. Please visit this page periodically for more updates.

1) Effective 05 January 2015, PS enlistments in all skill levels, to include
Service Members from Sister Services applying for the Blue to Green (B2G)
Program, are restricted by critical MOS according to their rules. Reductions
in pay grade will NOT be favorably considered, no exceptions.

2) GNPS in pay grades E-1 thru E-4 who have not completed MOS training are
not restricted to the rules. GNPS with 179 days or less of Active Federal
Service (AFS), to include zero days on Active Duty (AD) are considered GNPS.
For example:
a. Separated from a Reserve Component (RC) and did not ship to Initial
Active Duty Training (IADT).
b. Separated from a RC and completed BCT but did not complete MOS
training.
c. Separated from any component of the Armed Forces with 179 days or
less of AFS and did NOT complete MOS training.

ordered to Active Duty. (Refer to the current USAREC message for
Cadets who have elected to be discharged and desire to enter AD.)

GNPS records are built with the correct days of prior military service (GNPS
with the correct days of service), MOS (if applicable), military history, etc.
