Good day, all. FIRST - I searched for the answer to this, I really did! And I didn't find anything that allowed me to connect the dots. So I'll try a new thread. If there's a link you can provide instead - please do and I'll go to it!
Assuming all goes well, my son will be swearing into DEP this coming week. We're 50% excited, 50% nervous, 50% scared, 100% proud. Right now it's hard for me to talk or hug him without getting teary-eyed. But, I'll get better some day.
He wants to go infantry; he's a senior in HS but attends college instead so we're told he'll be able to go in at a higher level for those credits. That's good. The question - does this point, and his MOS selection get put into contract and signed BEFORE DEP, or is all that stuff open ended, as long as it is signed before MEPS? He's been told for infantry he won't be leaving now till December, which is fine, but I'm concerned and want to make sure he'll be getting the job he wants, credits, etc. The posts I've been able to find (and I may not be looking well), aren't as clear as I'd like.
Thanks for any help!
