You really need to be sitting down with your NOSC Command Career Counselor after talking to your unit Career Counselor on the issue. They would have access to the latest and greatest info.
Read over these forums and check out answers to other people who had the same question. It depends entirely what the Navy needs at the time on how your request will go. Junior people with no experience arn't needed as badly as people who have their schools under their belts and some rate to go with it.

I believe in Murrays Law, he thought Murphy was an optimist.
I have been trying to get a reserve MA slot for almost a year now. Recruiter keeps saying the rate is locked up…is this true up in your neck of the woods?
