I am enlisted in DEP right now and I am set to ship out on March 17. I already have been through MEPS and was sworn in. At MEPS I also signed my 4 year enlistment form and they said I am officially in the Delayed Entry Program. I went back to the recruiters office and I picked my job choices (But never an official number like 6xxx which I thought was weird) My first choice was Crew Chief for a Helo which I would love to do. Second is Tanker and third is artillery. Wouldn't mind being either of them because they both seem fun. Today I signed a paper regarding the GI BILL. And my recruiter then informed me that he can't get ANY of my jobs for me. He says they don't even have an infantry position open. He claims that once I get down to Parris Island I will be able to speak to a job counselor within the first week and pick out a MOS. He says he got me the $50,000 for college because he could not get me a job.
I got a 91 on my ASVAB and he claims that because of that they will give me the Crew Chief slot but I don't know if he's trying to butter me up just to get me down there. He says that if I just keep persisting with the AG MOS that I will get it. I DO NOT want to leave for boot camp without a guarenteed enlistment. Is it too late to do anything? I already signed for enlistment, but that was before we picked MOS's, I have my ship date set. Don't get me wrong I want to be a Marine first and foremost, but doing 4 years as a cook will just waste my time and I would not get anything out if it to use in a career world. Thank you for your time.
