How do I determine if my recruiter is giving me good advice on how to get my preferred MOS?

so I've talked to my recruiter and he agrees on me being a 25b but I'm only 17. he told me to speed things up since I graduate this year and will still be 17 till next august to goto MEPS as a 19D and before I ship to BCT I can change back to a 25b. he promises it will work but i'm worried that he just wants to fill slots. I have my heart set on 25b and I'm willing to wait if I have to. what should I do?

I'm guessing that you qualify for 25B but he apparently needs to push 19D. You hold out for 25B if that is what your heart desires. Stick to your guns for what you want.

Normally, I would agree with everyone else here. But this says that you are ROTC. If your goal is to Commission then it is pointless hold out for the enlisted MOS that you want. Plus, you will gain more leadership experience in combat arms that will translate better than a support MOS.
Now, if your goal is to stay enlisted, and hold out for your job of choice.

"Junior" ROTC Sargent, since he's only 17 years old. If it's 25B the applicant wants there's no need for him to have the recruiter change his goal to 19D. I did 3 years at the LA MEPS in the mid '80's and watched the switch happen quite often.

Already answered, but let me add another wrinkle: find a different recruiter who will not lie to you. That guy doesn't deserve to get credit for you when you do ship.
