The recruiter told my niece that if she does not like any of the jobs they offer she could get out of the air force honorably. false?

Answer 1

The recruiter is blowing smoke here somewhat. It might be somewhat easier for a female to get out of the military due to pregnancy but that may not carry with it an honorable discharge with any veteran benefits. Enlisting into the military is like buying a car and playing stud poker all rolled up into one. It pays to have an idea about what jobs or job fields you want to enlist for rather than the recruiter picking one for you. That means taking the time for a reading and researching what those job duties are and all that info is available on the Internet. Individuals need to remember also that every job carries with it their bad points or some down side to them. Boredom, shift work, frequent travel and absences from your home station are just some of the things that a job might also include that some might not like having to deal with. Armed with that information though a person can go into a recruiter's office then and tell them they want to enlist for one of those jobs or a job in one of those job fields that appeals to them. That and being willing to wait to go in till that job or job field opens up as well as maybe considering a six year enlistment with a guaranteed job contract (if one is offered or on the table) are also things to be considered. Its important also to know what your test scores are and that they be high enough for any jobs that a person wants to try and enlist for as well.

All the above is balanced against the recruiter meeting his quota for recruits along with the needs of the military. The needs of the military come first and that recruiter does not keep his job if he fails repeatedly to meet his quota. So there is pressure on them to sometimes getting people to settle for something less or else while funneling them into what the military needs at that time for people to enlist into. Popular jobs and popular job fields and also jobs that are not widely dispersed in the military that are popular means that not everyone will get into one of those jobs or be able to enlist into one of them. There are only so many vacant slots or openings in them.

Anyone enlisting today should plan on fulfilling the terms of their enlistment contract fully. Thinking or planning otherwise, regardless of what a recruiter tells you is not usually the case. Your niece might want to test for a couple of different military services and then play enlisting into one of them against the other to get the job or job field she wants. That is what I did but I also had to go in a month or two earlier than what I had originally intended.

Answer 2

False, they'll say anything to get a moron to volunteer for the military.

Answer 3

If she does not like any of the jobs offered BEFORE she signs the contract and takes the oath she can just walk away. If she has already signed the contract and taken the oath she had better pick a job because her body is theirs.

Answer 4

False.

Answer 5

Get it in writing. Ask to see the policy or law that states that is true.

Answer 6

RANGER SCHOOL!

Answer 7

True, of course this means she finishes her term first

Answer 8

It does't work that way. You cannot join unless you have a job waiting. If you do not like the jobs on offer, you either wait to join until one you like opens up, or, you don't join at all.

Answer 9

once she has shipped to BMT, she is on the hook for her entire contract. regardless of what AFSC she is assigned.

Answer 10

False. Once you sign that paperwork, they own you. Doesn't matter if you like what you're doing or not.
