Hello Marines,
In about 7 hours I will be going to MEPS for the first time to get my physical. Yesterday (Tuesday) I met with my recruiter to sign a couple of things and he said when I leave MEPS Thursday, I'll leave with an open contract, and then come back to the office, cancel the open contract, and put in the MOS I have reserved (0231 - Intelligence Specialist).
My question is: Is it standard procedure to leave MEPS with an open contract and change it to the reserved MOS?
The reason I ask is because my father told me not to accept anything other than 0231 at MEPS and I'm hesitant to sign an open contract and then change it after I leave.
Thanks, Marines.
