I have a few questions that I hope the members of this site can help me with. I was active duty 2001-2005 got out finished my master's degree. The day I graduated I got MOB orders back to Ft. Benning. My MOS was err is 11B but I have never served in an Infantry unit. Now then my MOB orders are assigning me to an Infantry guard unit out of Maryland. It is my understanding that I will get a few weeks of training and then off to my unit. A few weeks of training for a job I have never done seems a little weak, not to mention that I will be an E-4 running around with 6 years of college under my belt. My question is does anyone know if the job I actually performed while on active duty (training instructor) will be considered or is the Army just pulling names out of a hat (similar to the draft)? Additionally, what are my chances at an MSO transfer or a change in MOS after MOB orders have been cut?
Thanks
