Felt like I got kicked in the ....?
Went to Des Moines with Recruiter Sunday night ,arrived at Hotel at 0 hour.
Got 4 hours sleep ate breakfast was almost last one in building. Except for 2
sleepers.

Had some paperwork did reweigh and so on.

Got to the counselor no 25M no surprise!,looked at a few others seen they
had 25B available. Started investigating that a little then he said I was not
able to get a security clearance;I said what?... Told him my 2 waivers are a
done deal,and I specifically asked Recruiter about the clearance. Was told it's a go weeks ago!

So in the Mos description it say's alcohol waiver blah blah something.So now my Owi is at fault,but after talkin to this gal and filled out a paper with
a couple debts owed to collection's which they already knew! They shift the gears and say they can't give me clearance because of Debt because
I am a risk. OK so I go in a small room first thing I see is a note on wall say's (Recruiters do not bring applicants into this room anymore!) don't
know if it was a joke or not ,but I can tell you I was not laughing.

Then I asked if the debt was payed in full before I left for basic would they
go for that because I would have taken the 25B job;well it was a go then no then what about a 42A job it's computer related we can get u that or the3 year cook job. Not sure but isn't that 42 job being reclassified as 88M
then Recruiter made calls smoked cigarettes on my time. Sorry but I can't
help that he smokes!

Finally at around mid afternoon I walked out wen't to the bathroom proceed
to the lounge and ready to leave the floor.

Bottom line is this 1. Felt like I was deliberately lied to just to get me there.

2. The Army is not looking out for the best interest of my Family,or they
would not have wasted a entire day of mine when I could be working 2 Art
jobs I have to pay off debt! (that is my opinion)

3.Yes I called the Army looking to join.
4.I am not trying to waste anyones time!
5.I am not blaming Recruiter :?: '' He apologized on the way home!"
6.If someone feels like they are being mislead 9 out of 10 times they will
stand down!(opinion on the numbers)
7.Not sure about Army now,and maybe it's no wonder they r having hard\
time getting people in!

Thanks for listening needed to vent!
