1. Guaranteed training. This means that you will be assigned o that trainng but they can reassign you the next day or wash you out of that training for any reason. My son was guaranteed Rangeer training. When he got there they were 250% overasigned. He got washed out on day two due to not dropping for push-ups quick enough. I saw it coming when I read his contract.
2.They will promise you an assignemnt but when you show up to sign they contract, they will suddenly "discover" that that assignment is full and do a "bait and switch" to something else.
3. They will tell you that you cannot take the contract home to study it. "It is against the rules" they will say. They lie.
3.a. They will act just like time share salemen. If you say know and refuse to sign the contract, they will bring in the bigger guns, keep you isolated (even sitting in a room alone), and do everything possible to break you down.
4. Whatever money they offer, there is more available if you hold out. Pretend they are used car salesmen in reverse.
5. Play off the individual branch recruiters against each other. Don't let you or anyone else let them know which way you are leaning. They will use it against you.
By the way I love the military, I just know that the recruiters' job is to recruit people and leave as much in Uncle Sam's pocket as possible. There are books available written by recruiters. Also websites with more information. Google on military recruters.
I'm done with recruiters, thanks. I already did my 20+ years. :-)
