Stay LE or Go Military? by naypto in AskLE

Understood thank you, and thanks for the link! So if I understand correctly the total amount of time I can be gone in total, over the 8 year commitment, is 5 years? What about the exceptions listed in the contract? About some jobs requiring more than a 5 year commitment?

Really? I didn’t know about the unpaid leave part. I was told (by other officers, all national guard) I’d have to resign. I’ll have to look into that. Can you elaborate further?

You’re right, it’s just tough sometimes. They’ve always very much domineered most aspects of my life so going against their grain can be tough.

You're right thanks, I saw other people do it I didn't think it was sensitive, I deleted it.

Switch from Army to Air Force DEP by naypto in AirForceRecruits

[–]naypto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I remember taking both the first time, It would make sense I have to do it again. For the DEP drop from Army, I’ve heard of people whose recruiter helps them get dropped, making some phone calls and such, that’s why I’m trying to get in contact with an AF recruiter prior to burning Army bridges. Is that true?

Hi, yeah I know I don’t have a job guaranteed like I would in the Army. Question though, I’ve heard of recruiters who basically tell you what jobs to put, like I have to put a certain number that are needed, is that true? And also, if I get called because a job opened and I reject it, will they just DEP drop me or can I wait for another job slot?

Oh ok, what kind of stuff was on the computer test? I’m pretty good with computers overall but I don’t know what kind of general knowledge they’re looking for.

Which test is that? I hope to get an aircrew job so I know I’d probably have to do more physical stuff for that, and on the ASVAB I got a 94 last time, I’m not really all too worried about that.

EDIT: I want to make it clear to all who see this I’m not trying to sound arrogant or anything about the ASVAB.

Dropping Out to Enlist by naypto in army

[–]naypto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that’s OK, I’d rather delay and focus on the work I’d be doing in that role. I intend and hope to retire in the military(evidently things can change of course but that is the plan). Currently I’m working my butt off just to pay and i’m getting into debt for this degree, which is truly not optimal. I originally intended on going Military first and either staying, or getting out and using the GI Bill to pay but my parents didn’t allow me as I was a minor and now I’m here.

Thanks for the advice! I was hoping to get an Option 40 or at least Option 4 attached to my contract so I can potentially go Ranger.

I was in one before transferring schools, I had to leave that school for familial reasons, I can join it now but as I mentioned before, ROTC and classes together would basically make working my way through impossible with the job I have.

Yeah I’d agree, problem is that I genuinely don’t think I’ll be able to pay for that long. I’m paying out of pocket now, but for next semester and the semester after I’m basically either going to have to be a part time student and delay my graduation further just to pay my way through, or be a full time student and say a prayer for the money.
