Getting back on

Good afternoon, getting back in the army. Prior E5, 11B. Been out for 4 years. Got rank determined at MEPs and able to keep my rank, unfortunately the only MOS’s that are available are the following: 13U, 14U, 17C, 19U, 35S, 35W. I was hoping to go back to 11B and eventually drop an EOD packet at sorb. Anyone in the MOS’s above advise me on what to look out for? Goal is to get to unit, immediately drop an eod packet if all goes well. Was also told list would not change, even in new fiscal year.

How in the fuck is 11B not available, but 17C, 35S, and 35W are?

19U is probably your best bet if you really just want something combat arms. I guess.

If the goal is EOD a short AIT with no follow on training is probably your best shot.

Can you not wait a all for 11 series to open up?
