Is there any way I can change my MOS? I swore in and signed a contract, but I haven't been shipped to basic. I choose it based on the bonus. I read alot of reviews that it was a horrible job and offers no real skills for cilvilian life.is there ANY WAY i can change it or is it too late?

1. You SIGNED a contract- it's not "Lets Make A Deal!". 2. You wanted money and you are going to get it. 3. The Service does not care about your Civilian life, cause the job is DEFENDING the Constitution, NOT what you can make 4-20 yrs down the road! 4. They have already spent money on you, made schedules, filled a school slot, planned the MOS numbers/Army Field strength around you! 5. It might be a slim chance but it would require going into a more critical MOS than you 1st picked PROVIDED you are qualified, of course they could just till you to take a hike with your discharge.

In what world of military servicemembers and vets is it acceptable for a "Cadet 1LT" (whatever the hell that is) to spout off like that to a Sergeant Major? Has RP been infiltrated by ANTIFA?

A recruit signs two contracts, one for DEP and one for active duty.

Contracts of adhesion1 may be found in many fields of employment law with varying degrees of guile written into each contractual clause. All branches of military employment are no different and features several aspects which may make this set of contracts all the more compelling. First, many military enlisters begin their duty soon after completing high school. Recent graduates have relatively little experience in bargaining for better...

Look, I don't want to screw over a recruiter with his numbers, but having a soldier who already doesn't like their job before they even try it (odd phenomenon as it is) is worse. If they refuse to work with you and do the leg work to change MOS, all you have to do is not show up on ship day. It's a super crappy thing to do, but it happens. It's also even more crappy to have soldiers who hate the army before they even know anything about it. Either push for the change, don't ship, or embrace it and push forward.

Hello Joseph, I don't know if you have shipped out yet or found a resolution to your situation but I'll try to advise you the best I can. I am a former 92F with over 17 years of service in that MOS. I also was an AIT Instructor for 6 of those years at the Petroleum and Water Department at Fort Lee, Virginia where you will train if you are not successful in changing your MOS. I don't know what information you're getting or where you're getting it that makes you question your choice but remember there are always two sides to a coin. The 92F MOS is a fairly physical MOS with many hazards and challenges just like MANY MOS's in the Army. A lot of how a 92F forms their opinion about this MOS has to do with where they are serving and what type of unit their assigned to. I'm certain by now you have researched a little about the MOS so I won't go into the details about that but to say that it is NOT a waste of time for you to begin your career with such a challenge. Working in the Petroleum sector can give you valuable experience in both Petroleum sector jobs, but also Environmental Safety and Health jobs as well. Think of all the other industries out there that rely on pipelines such as Natural Gas, Propane, and other energy driven functions not the least of which are within the Government as well. I've personal seen MANY of my former students and soldiers transfer to the civilian world to become tremendously successful in that they have stable adult lives now. This MOS is not in an office for sure. You will be challenged physically, and it is a more than moderately DIRTY job. You'll go home or back to your tent smelling like fuel a lot of days, but most importantly you WILL BE doing a job that is one of the most IMPORTANT jobs in the military. Relative to that is that the MOS is used EVERYWHERE in the Army making it a perfect MOS to be assigned just about ANYWHERE you might want to go. Not all MOS's offer that kind of mobility. Please feel free to contact me through private message so I can get on the phone with you and talk to you more about this and other options you might have that DON'T include flunking out of AIT or the Army. Good Luck to you and your future endeavors.

No skills for civilian life? Nonsense! You'll have all the skills necessary for gainful employment in the great states of Oregon and New Jersey. Seriously though, speak to your recruiter tomorrow. Considering you've signed your contract it probably is too late, but I suppose the silver lining is that you're learning a lesson that most of your peers will take weeks or months to learn. Before the end, the big green weenie gets us all.
