[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2137346, member: 1132"] Avoid MP as a MOS. They get all the crap duty and frequently get busted do to conflicts with senior NCO's and officers. A guaranteed (in writing) MOS is the only way to do it, but he'll have to have the ASVAB scores and record to get it. I wouldn't sign a contract without having an ASVAB score in hand and knowing what areas he excels at. That will give an idea whether the recruiter is offering a good package, or shining him on. IIRC, my score was 118. I went in on a guaranteed "MOS group" with an enlistment bonus. There were like 6 MOS's listed and I didn't know which one I was getting till I completed boot camp. I knew I wasn't getting the two clerical ones due to poor scores in that area. I wound up as a Stinger Missile Operator. A lot depends on how many people they're getting to sign up. The more joining, the more selective they get. [/QUOTE]
