Hey guys...Nice to be here at VJ again.

Got 19Y starting from E3 cos I did an evaluation of my OND from Naija and the equivalent is Associate Degree.

Going to MEPS Tuesday/Wednesday this week for my physicals and if everything goes well... I'll be going to basic training by September.

What's up with this new waiting 6months before going to basic training for green cards holders?

Nice one bro, you got your temporary reservation before physical that's good.

The 6 months they say is for government to be able to do a thorough background check on non-citzens, green card or through mavni. I was initially scheduled to ship by June but was pushed back to august.

Going to MEPS tomorrow...I hope all goes well..

Good luck bro

Ahmed waiting to go in for my interview for green card soon, just trying to gather info on what result would be required, am enlisting into the navy as soon as I get my GC.

Will you get a 2 year or 10 year card? If it's a 2 year card, then the navy is out. Only the Army accepts 2 year cards as far as I know.

I think the Navy accepts 2 year GC, only the Air force doesnt.

Not really a big deal but involves lots of waiting. Involves hearing and vision test, your vitals, they'll draw blood and you'll pee. Then you'll see the meps medical officer for an interview, he'll ask you to cough while observing your genital. Then you'll be in a room with other applicants strip down to your underwear and you'll do some physical activities while the doctor observe. If you complete the medical, and doesn't have any issue, the doctor will recommend you for military service and you'll be done with medical. That's when will see your liason and be enlisted and be sworn in. Good luck

I think you can still change your MOS if what you have is a temporary reservation. You can change your MOS when the permanent reservation is taking place while you are with the counselor coz the mos on your permanent reservation is what will be on your contract. But changing MOS after you must have signed your contract (reclassification), that I know nothing about at least for now.
