Thanks for the info, Ivan.

Even you admitted, and I think it is just too risky option. For me, marrying a USC seems easier option than this.

A recruiter is going to swoop you off your feet. You'll go to his office, he'll sit you down, and he'll say "I'll make all your wishes come true." You tell him you want to become a 68W and he'll say "absolutely." Even if you ace the biology part of the ASVAB, you'll only get the position if there's an opening and even then, if you get lucky.

People sign up to be all sorts of things in the Army, just to find out they have to drive a vehicle or whatnot.

Thats why you don't sign up for an open contract or you leave if it isn't guaranteed.

if they say "we have little openings" that is a red flag. There are precautions a recruit needs to be aware of before putting pen to paper.

On the article it says that the recruiters advised people with no SSN to put pending.
