Hang on 25mm, I'm not sure you've advised us wheather you are going AD or NG this time around? Cos it looks like you're going AD from your previous posts,

From memory there is supposed to be an identifying comment on your contract re: SF, but from memory it wont show SFAS or 18X anywhere. Or it might say it in the small print, I can;t remember.

Be very very careful here, you wouldn't be the first to have been misled.

One option when you get to MEPS, ask the counciling Sergeant to show you clearly where it staits you have the oportunity to attempt SFAS immediately after completeing OSUT / BAC. If it's not clear enough, feel free to do what you can do in any legal contract. Write in a hand written clause and inital it and then ask him to inital it.

I've seen this done at MEPS, and most counciling Sergeants will happily initial it, if the statement is true. Nice little test, if you're not sure you're being given the full stroy. Most counciling Sergeant have no interest in misleading you, but the occasional recruiter does. Ask a conciling Sergeant a straight question, you'll tend to get a straight answer.
