today i spoke with a recruiter, and there are alot of guys on this board that are in the military and others thinking about enlisting. just woundering if you guys can clarify or add on to what i spoke about with the recruiter.
i already signed the paper that states im going to take the avsab test, and get a full medical check up. which is going to happen in the next 2days.
after i take the avsab test and get the medical test, i'll sign a contract stating that i understand i'm going to be serving a 4year active term and take a oath etc.
afterwards i'll get signed up to the DEP(delayed entry program), where i come in and workout with them once a week. and during that time i can decide what mos i want. and before boot camp i'll sign a contract that states what mos im going to be.
as for college, he said after all the training and i start my job. i could take college classes on base or out of base. and get college credits. so i'll be getting college credits while serving my term. he mentioned stuff like the dante test (where you take a test and you get 3college credits on a specific class). and socmar
people have told me, that i might end up as a cook or something, but they cant do that if when i sign the contract and it says lets say im going to be a air mechanic, or can they ? also people have told me i probably wont have time to even take college classes, but my recruiter said i'll have a work schedule like 6am-4pm and can take classes when im off depending on my job. And can some one explain in good detail about the gi bill, from what i read so far i'm eligible for it after serving 36-48months. someone told me it was bs, or i'm only eligible while serving and i cant use it after i finish my time serving to go to college fulltime.
