I'm depped in with a ship date of Oct. 11th 2011. I already have signed for Aircraft mechanic, but after a lot of research on this particular field I've found that it has A LOT of positions that I could get thrown into, and a majority of them are unappealing to me and were not mentioned when I was choosing my MOS.
So I've decided I want to talk to my recruiter and see if I can't try to get a new MOS when new jobs come out in the beginning of Oct.
When I go to speak with him tomorrow, I want to have a new MOS field in mind.
So, with that being said, I don't want an infantry MOS. At the same time, I don't want to be sitting at a desk or in a hanger all day. For example, my recruiter is an electrician, but he's already deployed to Iraq with Recon. I want a job with this kind of flexibility and I feel like I will be restricted to being on a base, in a hanger for my entire 5 year contract with the aircraft MOS.
Please forgive me for any ignorance I might have, and thanks to you all in advance for your replies.
