Howdy! Since I can't really think of a good way to start this post, I'll just jump right in.
I have been in the Naval ROTC for the past two years and my ultimate goal is to fly helos for the Marines. Unfortunately I did not receive a scholarship and due to my huge amount of educational debt and my strong desire to be one of the "Few and the Proud" I left school and enlisted in September. My questions are:
When I signed the contract at MEPS, it had me as an E-1 and in the Reserves. I am supposed to be an E-2 active duty. It also had me in some generic MOS, I don't recall which one and I can't find my contract at the moment but I believe it was 03 something. My recruiter said that was just so that I could be in DEP and that the real contract would come later. I'm now wondering if this is legit because I signed that contract in October and I still haven't been given a new contract and it is now December.
My other question is:
How difficult will it be for me to finish college while I am active duty as a cryptolinguist (I have 1.5 years remaining), and how difficult will it be for me to commission and get a flight school slot from this MOS?
