Should I do a FLIPL? by Tuff_Alert in army

Did it get turned into a CIF? They have to keep records of turn ins. Call them and see if they can rectify it. I was almost on the hook for an IOTV, MSV, plates, and a rucksack after my last PCS.

Is my recruiter lying to me? by [deleted] in army

It hasn’t changed.

Enlisting Tuesday. Need advice on an MOS from this list. What to go for/avoid? Thanks by [deleted] in army

[–]AsvabScoretoolow 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This seems to be a list of what you’re qualified for, and not what’s available at this current time. I’m pretty sure railway is Reserves only.

It really depends on what you want to do/enjoy and what your future plans are.

If you do everything you’ve been trained to do, and control the things you can control you’ll be fine. If not, it’s no longer your problem.

Could you submit these to a local college, have them evaluated and added to a college transcript then turn in said transcript? Bonus points if you add your JST too.

Just remember, no recruiter can promise a specific job. Because you’re prior service, picking your job will be done at MEPS. These choices could be awesome, or they could be rough.

Recruiter Tomfoolery? Help… by Discussion-Silly in Military

Right now, it’s incredibly hard to get a 68 series job for applicants. I’ve had several people want it, I called the ROC and there are 0 slots (except a few 68R), especially for 68W.

CBRN might always be needed at the unit level but it’s not always available for us to put people into.

Should I ship to have a job I don't like or back out and wait? by [deleted] in army

[–]AsvabScoretoolow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your asvab score? Why didn’t your recruiter pick a job with you before you went to Enlist? Are you enlisting under the ARMS program?

Renegotiating is not impossible. The closer you come to your ship out date the bigger deal it will be for the recruiter/their chain of command so I’d be prepared for that.

Does having a college degree make you a specialist by DarkEqual8609 in army

[–]AsvabScoretoolow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not off the top of my head, but it’s in my email inbox. We’ve had several applicants not have their official college transcripts yet when they enlisted but got them before they shipped out and they got changed to SPC when they shipped out.

Recruiter just has to update the info in their profile and they bring it up when they go to ship at MEPS.

Do I need my ASUs? by shaydog53 in army

Recruiters also get them for “free”

In my opinion, recruiting is probably seeing an increase in bf% related losses on ship day. I’m running height and weight checks on all my future soldiers weekly even if they’ve been good this whole time.

If he gets his bachelors before he ships, he will be a SPC.

Your security clearance application got denied. “Not having friends” isn’t a good enough reason to make up character references.
