Ground Option?

[degenerate138]

Not to mention that they said I'd get a $5000 bonus if I signed the ground options contract... The money sounds good but I'm not doing it for the money, and I'd rather not be stuck doing something for 4 years and not at all enjoy what I'm doing, so I think I'll try and get that CE contract.
And I'm confused as to why all of a sudden there's a $5000 bonus if I signed the contract... are they just trying to lure me in on a contract they want me to sign?

dude that bonus sucks, they take taxes out of it, you'll also prolly have to sign a 5 year contract and a buddy of mine didn't see it until his 3rd year fighting the whole time, it no good

Wow, thanks for the heads up... I think I'm gonna wait for a Combat Support slot to open up, my recruiter said something about April, I'm gonna talk to him on Thursday though and get everything straightened out...

Be careful with what threads you reply to - this one is over a year old and pretty dead. There are a few threads that are active in which you can post your MOS or contract option, if you're interested.

I'm praying that my recruiter said Combat Support and not Ground option, I told him I wanted Artillery and he said Cannoneer? and I said yeah, then I want Tank crewman and he said well why don't you go Combat Support, so I am praying that, that is what I said and that I get it. I will be so damn happy if I get it!
