To discuss any of these issues with a GI Rights counselor call The military puts a lot of pressure on recruiters. Their Job perfomance is not evaluated according to how well they help each person find their true path in life. Their Performance is rated according to how many people they get to join their branch of the service. Once a recruiter has invested time in getting someone to sign a DEP contract, they will typically not give up trying to keep that person in, until it becomes obvious that retaining that person is a lost cause and their time would be better spent on someone else.
Then recruiters cut their losses and move on. Different recruiters come to this point at different times depending on the signals they get from the person.
Different recruiters use different tactics to keep people from leaving. The sooner someone sends the recruiter a clear signal, the sooner the recruiter will let go and put their energy elsewhere. If a recruit sends a recruiter the message that indicates the recruit still feels obligated, the recruiter will likely persist. Recruiters know that recruits can get out of the DEP, but they usually don't advertise that fact. After signaling a change of heart, many DEP members have reported harassment from recruiters.
The level of harassment varies from recruiter to recruiter and case to case. If a recruiter is calling too often, a person can ask them to stop calling.
If the calls persist, a person can report the recruiter for phone harassment through the phone provider. A recruiter has no right to enter someone's private property. A person can ask a recruiter to leave and report the recruiter to the police for trespassing if the recruiter remains or comes back. Most workplaces are also private property, and a recruiter who comes to someone's workplace can be asked to leave and can be reported for trespassing if they refuse.
If a recruiter doesn't leave someone alone in a school, the person can go to the principle or other school authorities to complain about the harassment. Friends and family members are under no obligation to assist recruiters and need not give them access to private property. If a recruiter shows up at someone's home on the person's ship date, they have no right to enter the property without permission, nor are they allowed to force someone to leave the property.
Even in cases when a person has not had contact with the recruiter in weeks or months, it is still likely that the recruiter will attempt to contact a person and try to persuade him or her to go on the ship date. Composite scores are used to determine whether you can enlist in the Army and what MOS you may qualify for. The most important of the composite scores is the Armed Forces Qualification Test AFQT , which compiles your scores from paragraph comprehension, word knowledge, mathematics knowledge and arithmetic reasoning.
The other composite scores are called line scores. They measure your aptitude for MOS fields and, as GoArmy explains, are composed of the following tests:. The GoArmy website allows you to input your scores from each test and automatically search to see what jobs you could be qualified for. Because requirements change according to the needs of the military, your best source for current information is your local Army recruiter. When you enlist in the Army, you sign a contract that obligates you for service, including the performance of duties of the MOS to which you've been assigned.
It's important to talk with your recruiter about possible changes to your MOS before you sign the contract. Once you've signed, you'll have to complete your assignment before you can make any changes.
The exception is mandatory reclassification. The Army may change your MOS if you're deemed medically unfit for a particular job. Deployment due to major conflicts or natural disasters may also necessitate reclassification.
When possible, the Army limits mandatory classifications to pay grades E-6 and below Staff Sergeant, or SSG with fewer than 15 years of service. Soldiers can request reclassification if they meet certain criteria, as outlined on ArmyReenlistment. Once there, navy recruiter was not present. Instead, army recruiter greeted me and invited me to army office to talk about army life. Army seemed great as the recruiter explained all the benefits and job opportunity.
Despite the fact that Basic combat training had me worried, I was excited about the professional training that army Advanced individual training will provide me after BCT. I am a permanent resident card holder I and due to some law change on early of , I had to wait for security clearance to clear before I can ship out to BCT.
After doing the security clearance interview, all I could do was just wait. So, I asked the recruiter if getting citizenship will help me get into the army faster. The answer was "not exactly" although the citizenship will benefit me in it's own way, it was not necessary for me to get one in order to join in army keep in mind that I wanted to join as from the start 25B.
Getting citizenship is not going to be any faster than getting my security clearance done so, I can just apply for one in the army as it will speed things up. Time passes by as I take care of my mother who recently had 2 surgeries for left foot ulcer amputation, I get a call from my recruiter saying that I can ship out soon due to some law suit about security clearance not being cleared for many soldiers in My first choice is 25B and I had few others in mind. I told my recruiter that I did not want to join army as 74D as I am sure to regret the consequence.
I asked, since I already waited for about 1 and a half year, could I just wait a little longer in order to join with my desired MOS. I was told that 25B needed security clearance and in order to get security clearance done, I needed a citizenship Once I get off army, I was told that it will take 6 month to 1 year period before I can enlist again.
I was told that my security clearance interview and process will also be reset and will have to go thru it all over again. In my situation, is it still possible for me to dictate my MOS?
