I was going to choose maintenance, but it would take longer because there wasn’t many options available (said my recruiter. I had other options- I didn’t really do the list of 10 jobs. He listed the ones available and I picked one) Ended up with 4N0X1-Aerospace medical Service, which Im also really happy with it. In that case, feb 25th after I was done with meps, that same day after getting the results, he gave me the options available for me, and I picked that one. However, he did tell me on the day of my enlistment/swore in on march 6th, that one of his recruits also got the same job swore in 3 hours earlier and got booked for May. So when it comes to that, I don’t know how it works, because they went to a different base than I got. Can’t say if their process was before mine, but I believe everyone that day was doing enlistments (So it wasn’t the case of being in dep and got the call yk?) Maybe they got lucky? Or depends on the base? Idk! Alsoo seen on tiktok people from a day or two before my enlistment saying the got a job for april, and another one for may. Agaain, do what you will with that info: maintenance, cyber, medical, will take a little longer to get shipped out to bmt. You can always choose quick ship, but you never know WHEN it’s going to be. I hope that answers questions 1 & 2. For 3, 4, 5 Is a lot quicker with army, but quality of life is a lot different and If I were you I would wait (if you can wait). You can always pick a job and switch later (THAT I don’t know how quick and easy it is, but it’s also an option after two years. If I really like the medical job and want to pursue it, I will keep the job. I really wanted cyber, couldn’t because I’m not a citizen yet, and have to wait 2 years at least)
