I'm a Marine, but this question is in regards to my brother-in-law who is in the Army.
I just feel like something else is going on, and I want to try to intervene before he does something stupid with his military career (as if joining the Army wasn't bad enough).
My brother-in-law was recently scheduled to ship out to MOS/AIT school last month on a Friday. His story doesn't add up to me, so I'm just curious of everyone's input. I'm a little concerned.
He did split training in the Army. Boot camp last summer and MOS/AIT this summer.
He was supposed to leave on a Friday. He went to MEPS and then made it to the airport, where his recruiters apparently told him that he would have to wait until Monday to leave. So he drives two hours back home. Monday rolls around and he supposedly does the same thing. Gets to the airport and then his driver's license disappears so he can't ship then either.
I don't ever remember needing a driver's license to report to any training or duty stations.
He applies for a new driver's license, gets a temporary one and they tell him that he has to wait for the real one, but if he doesn't get it within 4 days that he'll have to wait 3 months to go to AIT. The real one didn't come. Now his story is that he has to wait 3 months to go to AIT.
The story is not adding up and he's come home recently smelling like a high school party (if you know what I mean).
Anyone ever heard of shipping to ARMY AIT being this difficult?
