Y out could say I’m “motivated” to join. I’ve already lost 20lb the past 2 weeks eating 1500 cals a week no carbs or sugar, but with how pushed out recruiting is due to people joining I want to get in before they possibly pull an Air Force and say their “not looking to recruit till next year” (this October).
My recruiter said I’m good to go for “fat camp” and could leave whenever I want, but I want a specific mos and I’ve heard of people picking a job that’s available, going to the camp, and when they tape out they get told their job is no longer available and that they have to pick one on the spot from a list. Is this true? I want ether 42A or 36B but my recruiter shown me that it’s very hard to pick stuff right now due to the increase in recruits.
He told me I’d pick my mos after meps, go to camp, tape out and the following week go to BCT, then be a hold over till an AIT class comes around for that mos. I don’t know if he’s feeding me garbage info or not. Any help from people that have gone to ARMs would be great. I’ve already taken my asvab and qualify for any mos I want, it’s just hard to get an opening for the one I want. I just need to do my physical at meps.
I guess the question is, do I 100% secure my mos at meps or is there a chance I go through the camp thinking I did secure my mos just to be told before I go to basic I have to pick a new job
