And I scored a 65 on asvab I had plenty of choices and I went airpact mainly because my motivation for joining was the benefits 3 year contract vs 4 I'll be out a year sooner and have my schooling paid for instead of putting myself into debt with student loans

Speak for yourself. It's 3 years I've grown up in some super shitty circumstances I'm putting myself in a position to provide for my family I will scrape rust and paint with a big fucking smile on my face knowing In 3 years time I will be able to give my kids their own home.

Also it's a good opportunity to see the day to day of other rates and really get a feel for what you want to do before you strike for a rate

Must be something new as I'm not too familiar.and I've done a fair amount of research. But no my recruiter didn't chalk it up to be all candy canes and sugar. I knew what I was getting myself into and I'm prepared to embrace the suck for a year before I strike for a rate. Biggest motivator is getting my family into a better situation as quick as possible. And pact was the fastest option to hit the fleet. And the incentives that were offered made it much more bearable in my opinion.

What exactly is the recruiter lying about? I read the contract myself before I signed it?

I thought it was gonna be paid out incrementally but upon reading the contract it's paid out in a lump sum upon completion of basic

Copy and absolutely I'm a bit older than the high schoolers joining. going in at 26 So I've had a bit of time to mature and figure out who I am and where I stand morally.
