If there is an opening for that MOS and you are qualified with your entry scores then you notify the training NCO about it. Also, it depends on how much time you have left in your enlistment obligation.
To switch Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) in the National Guard, you need to consult with your unit's career counselor or retention NCO. They will guide you through the process, which typically includes reviewing your qualifications, submitting paperwork, and potentially attending additional training. Availability of MOS reclassification depends on the needs of the unit and the vacancies in the desired MOS.
No. Once in basic, it would be impossible.
31D is CID investigator. It's highly doubtful that any such MOS would exist in the National Guard, whose Military Police units are exclusively line MP units, and CID is a federal law enforcement service. However, they might have MPIs - Military Police Investigators. You can contact Human Resources at the Minnesota National Guard by phone at (651) 282-4155.
If there were, the Air National Guard would be the place to look. I would recommend you contact their Human Resources Office at Assets-HRO@mn.ngb.army.mil or by phone at 651-282-4155.
A unit Armorer actually works in supply. That MOS was 76Y30 when I was in the Army, it may have changed. I would say contact your local national guard, they would have your answer for sure. The MOS is 92Y. It is actually an additional duty for a unit supply specialist.
That depends on how many enlistments you already have, what your skill level (corresponding with your rank) is, and what the needs of your state's National Guard are. Talk to your unit retention NCO about this. The options for someone in the California National Guard and the Delaware National Guard are going to be very different, and we don't have the benefit of knowing what state you're in, what your current MOS is, or any of the information I listed above.
weird.. when I left active duty as an E5, I entered the National Guard as an E5. It might happen if there weren't any positions in their MOS for someone of their pay grade, but it's not the norm.
Pass the AFPT, qualify on the range, attend all drills, attend NCO school and take courses pertaining to your MOS.
There are three basic tenets in the strength management program of the National Guard. These tenets are the recruitment of quality soldiers, retainment of MOS qualified soldiers, and attrition management to reduce first term soldier losses.
There are actually two National Guards, but when people say the National Guard they are probably (but not necessarily) talking about the Army National Guard. The other National Guard is the Air National Guard which is to the Air Force what the Army National Guard is to the Army.
No. There is only an Army National Guard and an Air National Guard.
There is the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard.
Yes, pretty much any occupation dealing with CBRN - whether in the military, as a civilian employee of the government, or as a civilian in the private sector - is going to require one. Honestly, I'm a bit reserved whether that particular MOS would even be available in the National Guard.
