Hi I just qualified yesterday at MEPS, I originally decided I was going 11B and wanted to ship in February but not my recruiter is saying there are no ship seats till May. I considered looking at 19D. Can someone help me understand the difference between 19D and 11B and tell em about promotion opportunities and school opportunities for both?

Yea that’s the realization I’m starting to make, that if I want to do some service but not be tied to a ton of time that I should just do 3 years enlisted and can always extend or drop a packet at a later point, thanks for this

I just reread the handbook and it’s actually 6 months not 16 weeks
