I am currently not MOC qualified. For the purposes of this thread, lets hypothesize I have completed BMOQ and BMOQ-L (CAP) and my trade is Inf O (00180).
There is a part of me that is very interested in becoming a SAR Tech. I understand that that is not only an OT but it also means I would have to decommission. Is this possible, in any way shape or form prior to being MOC qualified, or do I have to complete Phase 3 and 4 of my training? I know that last year an officer that was MOC qualified did this, and I know there is another one in selection this year.
If it is possible what are the steps that I need to take to make this happen? Additionally what are the repercussions within the military for someone to give up a commission and join the ranks? Would one be black balled in any respect? Would it still be possible to get a CFR later in my career?
Thanks for any help!
