We had my daughter's recruiter come to our home before going to MEPS. His behavior then, and now, is very admirable. We learned he has my daughter's best interests at heart and has been taking good care of her. My daughter enlisted in July but has y…
I don't know whether it is IC or IT, but I happened to run into my daughter's enlisted recruiter last week. She signed up in February and didn't leave until November 7--three weeks ago. Her recruiter told me that the competition is so tough for Navy…
My daughter's recruiter just left her a message stating a job has opened up: but she wasn't sure she heard it right. IC or IT? Leaves for Great Lakes in January. Anybody else hear about job openings?
What I think happened with my daughter is when she was at MEPS, her job wasn't available. But to complete the enlistment her contract lists her job as UT. They told her that every month they would submit a DAR, a request for her desired job, but if…
So I am confused. When my Son joined in the DEP program he chose a job and was signed for it in his contract. Is that not true for all DEPPERS?
My son passed the DLAB exam for CTI. However, he has dual citizenship and was told that to be able to be a CTI, he needed to renounce his second (Mexican) citizenship. He agreed willingly to do this, but neither his recruiter, or job classifier, cou…
Has this changed at all? My son finally got the waiver and the recruiter texted him when he would like to go for his physical, when my son called to find out he was told it would be a few weeks. Did the new numbers come out for the new fiscal year?…
Hi all, thanks for replying. Her ASVAB is 71, so that isn't the problem (thank goodness). We'll just keep hoping she'll be noticed and picked up!
Brandon, is right. My son is going for testing for EOD, there weren't many jobs available just Special Ops and Nuke.
Thanks so much, you've been very informative. So is it really possible that when her year as a DEP is up she will be taken in as a UT with no othe options? She is willing to consider many jobs, but mechanic is not one of them. I'll have to ask her w…
Well, the history of recruiting has shown that jobs open up every October because it is the start of a new fiscal year. But this particular year is not going to be like that. We are still very over-manned wich is not allowing very many people to get…
Does anyone have any information on job availability? My daughter has been in DEP for 5 months waiting for jobs to open up. They suggested the beginning of the fiscal year would open up some jobs, but she has no word yet. She says she worries her re…
That happened to my son. He quit his job expecting to ship out to BC in a certain month, only they kept pushing that leave date out further and further. He went back to the Recruiter and asked if there were any opening sooner in his second choice-HM…
My son was in the same position, only worse. Between his color blindness and not being able to get security clearance because his dad is not a U.S. citizen and is living outside of the country, he had very few jobs to choose from. The first job offe…
yea, I understand...especially about the income part...but you never know, something could open up and her recruiter can get it and she could leave next week...happened to one of my girls--she told me she wanted to leave early, I submitted her DAR a…

- My daughter has taken the ASVAB, and was told with her score she can have any job...though I understand the recruiter will always say that. She is going back to MEPs this week for her physcial and job selection. I anticipate I am going to be reduced to a puddle when she signs and heads off. I am so scard and mad with worry about her.
