Why not, I'll share publicly.
Ran into a similar situation with the CONG. At MEPS I could not get my security clearance approved due to a foreclosure. I was told if I waited a month it would be "off the books" and I could enlist into the 19th.
I called my recruiter and he said he could get me in that day as an 11c. I could get some experience (I am former Navy) and
if I excelled I could possibly get Airborne and Ranger school. Regardless, I also got a verbal commitment to be pulled over for a chance.
My thought process:
- Going to have to enlist to reach my goals. Why not now?
- Experience is always a good thing. Even if it is bad (usually that is when I've learned the most).
- If I can't excel in the Big Army, what makes me think I am SF material?
I did it. I consider it my "try out" for a try out.
As a side note I attended my reception drill two weeks ago and was thoroughly impressed with the CONG. It is a growing organization with some good people that seem to care about the soldiers. So no matter what happens, I feel I have made a good choice.
You make the call...
