Education benefits. A lot of people come in here with student loans that need to be repaid, and the Army could be an option for that. So there's a number of questions people ask us. Chris Jannis: I had an idea of where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do with the Army, so it was just a matter of understanding exactly what all of my options were and making sure that I was making the best decision for myself.
Write down a list of questions of what that job might entail. And we also ask them to write down pros and cons of coming into the Army. And then we help them through making the choice. Adam Folger: I encourage them to go home and talk to family members, significant others. In most cases, I will suggest that, for the follow-up appointment, they have their significant other whose, you know, opinion means the most to them, to come in with them.
Or, I go sit with them at their house or wherever they'd like to meet. So that way, they have that extra support, added support, knowing that the decision that they're making to enlist will be the right one. Chris Jannis: We're moving at a pace that I'm comfortable with, and I think that the recruiters are able to kind of read and judge what each person needs, and understand, you know, how to work with each individual person so that we're comfortable with the process and we're only doing things when we're ready to do them.
Adam Folger: From the time an applicant enlists — the day they sign their contract — until the day they ship to Basic Training, they're in what's called the Future Soldier Program. During that time, we're going to work with them and get them ready for Basic Training, whether it be for doing physical training — pushups, run, situps, exercise, things of that nature — and then we have some classes that we can help them work on that will help get them promoted.
They can earn a promotion while they're in the Future Soldier Program. Chris Jannis: The whole thing has been a much more pleasant experience than I expected it to be.
And I think that's really the most important thing that the recruiters really show, that they want to work with you rather than saying, "This is what we've got; this is what you're going to take," which is what I think what a lot of people expect when they first walk in.
So overall, it's been a much easier experience, and they've made the whole thing, you know, from paperwork to taking the test, a pleasant experience overall. Army National Guardsmen talk about what it was like going through the enlisted recruitment process. Female Speaker 1 : The recruiting process is, the applicant will come into the office and meet with their recruiter, talk typically about what it is you want to do, what are your intentions in joining the Guard, and then, after that, you would set an interview to ASVAB.
Pretty much, it's how well you perform on certain tasks. Female Speaker 1 : You will pick a job that you would be most interested in. And then, after that, you will swear in and go off to Basic. Female Speaker 2 : Really, it's just working with your recruiter. They do all the hard stuff, and you just get sent out and you go to Basic Training. Male Speaker 2 : The recruitment process is pretty fast.
After choosing my MOS, I go there to sign the contract and swear in. Female Speaker 2 : I went to split option. It's where you're a junior in high school. So, you go through Basic, between your junior and your senior year, and then you go to AIT, once you graduate. Female Speaker 3 : From the moment I first spoke to a recruiter, it took me a good nine months to decide that I really was ready to do it. I talked a lot with my family and made sure they were behind me, obviously, because it's a big part of their lives, too.
And then, as soon as I was ready, I went and swore in. Developing specific questions prior to the meeting is an excellent and recommended way to prepare. Here are some to get you started:.
Recruiters are ready to answer these questions and any others you have in mind. If they cannot answer your question immediately, they will find the information you need and get back to you. Parents may have different questions for a recruiter than their son or daughter, and recruiters are always happy to provide information and ease concerns.
Here are some common questions parents have for recruiters:. Recruiters can be a great source of information for young adults and their parents. Hear about parents' experiences and learn what to ask. There is simply no way even to guess whether or not a waiver will be approved, even if someone has gotten a waiver for the same condition in the past, or—conversely—if nobody has ever gotten a waiver for the condition in the past.
Each and every waiver is evaluated individually, using several individual factors, including but not limited to:. I have seen waivers approved for a specific condition, only to see a waiver disapproved for the same condition, by the same service, just a few weeks later. Remember, each of the services has their own standards and policies when it comes to processing recruiting waivers.
If you don't qualify for one service, it's possible that another service would agree to process and approve a waiver. Because National Guard recruiting policies can differ greatly from state-to-state, many times, the National Guard will approve a waiver that the active duty and reserve forces won't even consider.
