Im currently a Poolee as you can see. I told him that im thinking about choosing another field besides 04XX because after gathering info i realized i didnt want to be put into a desk job by the Marine Corps as i was going for parachute rigger, but he says that i can just volunteer for that job and ill be fine and its not a desk job, and since he already sent in my wishlist of 3 MOS's i cant do it again unless im doing Reserves.
Then i told him i want to go to college in January so i dont have to wait another 5 months at home to ship as i have been waiting to ship since June 2010 High School Graduation. He said dont do it i can do it while on active duty (which i heard is hard as hell) And he said delaying my ship date would cause problems.
It feels like hes just trying to sell me stuff instead of actually helping me, I want to be a Marine but it feels like he dosent listen to what i want. and i feel like im just going to end up discharging from the Marine Corps DEP because he's bossing me around and not listening.
I've tried being straight up with him and telling him i dont want this, i want to go to college for a few months..but hes just tottaly telling me not to do it or something bad will happen yada yada yada etc...
Anyone have any advice for this? Talking to this recruiter is like talking to a No Machine.
