A while ago i posted a thread about joining the CG. Ive gotten very serious about it and have gotten in contact with a recruiter. I want to get into the ME (maritime enforcement specialist) rating. This rating is new, and the recruiter has told me that its A school doesent open till december. I understand that. So i was also considering port security, however, my recruiter is telling me that they will not guarantee me a school out of boot camp.
Now, i havent re taken my ASVAB yet, however, last time i took it i had a very high score. I have to retake it because my scores expired.
I asked him, "well what if i score real high on my ASVAB again? if i cant get ME can i get PS?"
he just said no, they will not put an A school in my contract that if i want to join i will have to non rate. I DO NOT want to non rate into the CG as ive been told by both of my uncles (one navy [senior cheif] , one airforce [lt. col] ) and by a good navy friend of mine [lt. cmndr] , that going in a non rate is a horrible idea that is guarenteed to get me stuck chipping paint while you wait to get into an a school.
Ive spoken with every other branch of the military (navy, air force, army, marines) and they all told me they would guarantee me an A school. so why would the CG be any different?
is my recruiter just full of shit or is this really the case? im willing to wait to join if it means gettin the ME rate.
Does anybody know anyone in the CG i can contact and actually get a straight answer?
Thanks guys,
Ryan
