Senior,
I just picked up Hm2, 4yrs active duty, and I have been wanting to be a recon 8427 since i switched to the "green-side". I'm in iraq right now, but i have recently been researching becoming a 8403, i think that would better myself in the long run. I want to be a PA for a carreer after the navy but i really need to get the motto stuff out of the way first. I was wondering if you knew if during the pipeline once i got to 18d if i would be able to just do the long course instead of the short one since i am an E5? Or if you could refer me to someone who might know. Thanks in advance. V/R Hm2 Gumm

Congrats to our new HMC's - good on you.
