Question
QUESTION: Hi,
My son was at MEPS today and unfortunately did not qualify to be an MP for the FL Army National Guard due to color vision. He has decided to go with 68W, medic,but unfortunately the recruiter was unable to secure him a spot in the nearest unit(Miami,FL)because they were closed. He will,of course, get back to us on this,but in the meantime is there any way we can find out where else in FL he could go for this job, if there are no openings in Miami?
Thank you
ANSWER: Hi Cindy,
Not without going through the Recruiter. The recruiter should have a listing of all Army National Guard open MOS-slots in the basic vacinity.
