Your SF recruiter is right. If you go back Active duty, it's very unlikey that you will get an 18X MOS as prior service. You will have to fill out at DA 4187 and see the local SF recruiter on what ever post that you get assigned to. With OPTEMPO, it will be hit and miss when you will be able to go to SFAS while being on AD.

As for being a guard bum, like what Books said, except with the caveat in my state, schools are on the OML and go by priority. So as a new guy, it's highly unlikey that you will get a cool guy school at least in my unit. Other units may do things differently.
