REP-63 Feeder MOS

Reserve Enlistment Program 1963 (REP-63) isn't an SF specific enlistment. Any USAR or ARNG unit can use it. It allows an Non-Prior-Service individual to enlist, attend and get paid for drills and accrue TIS before going to BCT. IE: Joe Blow could enlist in a Graves Registration Unit as a Mortuary Affairs Specialist under REP-63 and start attending drills at the morgue.

I have a question in regards to what RogerThis said...

I'm a rep63 as well and I know that I'm only scheduled for basic, AIT, airborne, and that's it. At what time would I be scheduled for SF prep and SFAS? I'm just wondering if it's going to be streamlined or if I'm going to get done with airborne and have to hurry up and wait to move on, and if so what would I do while I wait? My recruiter doesn't seem to really know, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

No need to worry. Most of the REP-63's I know had contracts similar to yours. SOPC will be added to your schedule at Ft Benning once you inprocess Airborne and SFAS will follow SOPC. The remainder is TBD depending on your performance at SFAS.

You wont have any standing around time after you start SOPC; the SFQC is streamlined.
