agreed. Once you get into an MOS, it is very hard to get out of it unless you reenlist for that MOS. If you happen to be in an MOS that is getting phased out, you MIGHT have a choice. I know 42As are becoming 88M (truck drivers). Play hardball with the recruiters. If they do not offer you what you want, and you are QUALIFIED to do that job, wait until there is an offer. Sooner or later they will make the offer. Its like buying a car when you have cash, but the dealer is offering too much. Walk away and the dealer will come acalling.
