Good luck! Get ready for the ride of your life though!

Case in point:

Some years ago, there was a contest of arms and physical abilities between female members of the various service branches. The Marine Corps women swept event after event. Finally, when they got to the "tug of war" contest at the end of the competition the women Marines yanked the second place Army women into the pit with one almighty pull. As they dragged themselves out one of the Army women was heard to say "I guess it just proves that the Marines build men - no matter WHAT they start with".

Did you talk to the Recruiter about MOS fields that are open? I mean since you have expressed intent to sign on Saturday I'd really hammer on him about that.

Let me get this straight. Bear with me. You've talked about MOS but you have to make it thru Boot first?

Is the Recruiter trying to Ship you Open Contract?
