A little update, I ended up going with comm.

With supply/accounting, there was a great chance I would be stuck inside at a desk doing paperwork or doing inventory for 4 years. From my point of...

Oh, and seeing as I dep'ed in January 3rd, pushing it back until better options open up would mean exceeding the year long limit and me having to drop out.

On top of that I believe that there is a...

Well, ****.

I went to talk to my recruiter today, and got incredibly terrible news..

The only contracts available to me are: Supply & Accounting, Communications & Electrical and various...

I used to, thats actually where I got the idea of CBRN (2 of my recruiters MOS), but after a while I realized that they were either starting to lie, or had very outdated information.

For instance...

First off, sorry in advance. I know that there are thousands of these threads out there (seeing as I've already gone through 20 pages) but I'm in a bind and am looking for any advice I can get.
...

You misunderstood me, just because I can't get the job I want doesn't mean I'm going to throw a hissy fit and quit all together. I merely meant there goes my career in that field, although I can see...

Understood. I can try my best to get them too, but I can nearly guarantee they will not. Although I would renounce mine in a heartbeat, I assume that is not enough.

Its a shame, there goes my...

As far as I know, its out of the question if my parents are not currently American Citizens. But they both are, my Mom was born here, as were me and my brother, while my dad got his by marriage.
...

I'm have a copy of the contract with me, DD. Intel/Signals Intel/Electronic Warfare.

Am I allowed to upload a picture of it? Seems it would be easier than explaining it.

Is there any chance a waiver exists for this?

Alright, I went and talked to my NCO again today. He shut me right the **** up.

Pulled out the actual contract and showed me, if any member of your immediate family is a citizen of another country...

Someone sent me this:

If I am reading it correctly, I should have no problems. Let me know if I am misreading.

Thank you very much Sgt.

I couldn't say anything at the time because quite frankly I did not know, I like to have all of the facts.

Not sure if it matters, but my dad was born in Europe. (Yugoslavia)

Long story short, I had to miss my ship date of Oct. 11th due to me being misdiagnosed with a hernia.

As such I lost my contract for Intel (Not sure of the actual contract "code"), I go in today...

I should probably add that I am a dual citizen, and live on the border.

My surgery would be free if I choose to take care of it myself, I'm just not sure if this would inhibit me from re-signing.

Honestly I *think* that I can go either way..Suck it up and shipping, or getting it fixed.

In my mind, I am truly leaning towards getting it fixed. With all of the physical and mental stress of...

Thank you, fraudulent enlistment isn't something I want to partake in.

I have no problem waiting until ~next summer to ship, I can get some college credit and increase my physical endurance even...

Recruiter told me to shut my mouth, let the Corps deal with it if it happens in boot.

This happened back in January, I haven't held myself back in pt..nothing hurts.

In all honesty I would...

In regards to this thread and my last post, I'm only worried about it because seeing as I didn't have surgery it technically is a weak spot. So theres a possibility something might happen while I'm...

*Profile Updated*

Yeah, well yes and no. Got a "partial" hernia right after enlisting..my recruiter thought it would be funny to throw 8 plates on a leg press and convince me to do it, so I did....

Title pretty much sums it up, if I were to get a hernia while in bootcamp, would I get discharged or sent to a medical platoon?

Obviously I would hope its the latter..but I guess I'm just curious.

Fair enough, looks like if it comes down to it I'll just have to play the game.

Thanks for the advice everyone, Brian.

..Anyone?

Alright, so I was in my Recruiting depot picking out a Mos, which as per my user name I wanted Intel.

I told him so, and he said fine, what are your other 2 choices seeing as you probably won't...
