Where is her/his Basic Training and are they 'Open Enlistment' or do they have a guaranteed MOS?
One of us in this thread should be able to fill you in in what they'll encounter.
I was (mostly) saying it tongue in cheek,
He's in MS and he's got an MOS (combat engineer). He'll be gone 10 weeks, and yesterday was the 2 week point (not that I'm counting ). He said he'd get time to use his phone on Sundays, but so far, we haven't heard from him. I did talk briefly with his recruiter, she said we should hear from him shortly.
This was our compromise though (NG), he wanted to do the Marines...
