Forward observer/ 13Fox in army?

Question

can you be a forward observer 13f in the army if you have any past criminal background. even if it was from 4yrs back?

Answer 1

Are you in the army now, or are you considering this as an MOS?

If you are in the Army now and doing a MOS reclass, you need to look at the qualifications for that MOS.  I'm sure there is a conditions clause about criminal activity.  You will need to chat with a Retention specialist at your base.

If you are joining the army, then the recruiter or Career Counselor at the MEPS can answer that.  Seems you will need a waiver anyway, so the MOS is the least of your concern right now.

Good luck.  I'm FA and enjoying every gun powder smelling moment of it!
