Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any idea when the billets for Maritime Enforcement Officer (ME) would be available for new reserved recruits.

Thanks

They are not positive right now. We just halted recruiting for PS billets and we are waiting for word on what is going to happen with ME.

from what i understood from my recruiter. As of now he does not believe that the ME rating is going to pertain to the reserves. Is this true. I know there are many rumors, because its soo early in the fiscal year. Im going to meps on the 19th for physical and asvab. Any input would be great.
thanks

Double check that with your recruiter.

thanks... will do ill give him a call this week. From what i understood (or Misunderstood) he said that cg put out what they had for this fical year (reserve mission) in regards to jobs and ME was not one of the ratings i know MK OS YN are open as of now. If anyone has info for CT i'd appreciate it.
thanks all

The ME rating will be pertaining to reservists. Not sure exactly on the billet structure for reserves but my guess would be sectors and stations. Possibly at some Coast Guard Police Departments. Most personnel in the PS rating will be moving over to the ME rating. The PS rating will be no more. I do know it will be a long wait for people wanting to go ME who don't have their name on an A school list. They are only taking 48 people for 2010 and 2011 who knows. Good luck.

The ME rating will pertain to reservist. Our son is heading off to BC in February and then off to ME A school in June. It seems he was one of the last to get into the June class, so he is really excited about that. Good luck with your physical and ASVAB.

thanks,
i actually went to meps two weeks ago, breezed through the medical and did fairly well on the asvab from what i was told. My recruiter told me that i qualify for all the jobs in my area CT. BUT there is not enough information on the ME rate and that i can try for it, but it will be a long wait. As it stands im going for OS.
thanks for the input

I just got a call from my recruiter this morning and he said there was an ME opening and he was going to try and get me into it...he said that I'd have to wait until 2011 to go to A school though. So, recruiters might just be filling them as they come along...
