He tried telling me I wasn't going to be getting my shipping bonus because DOD told him they can't stack shipping and MOS bonuses. I could give up my $6,000 MOS bonus that I would get after training for it in exchange for my short-term $3,000 shipping bonus I would get right after bootcamp. I was like, "How long have you been a fucking recruiter, and you're just barely finding this out? BULLSHIT!" After which I told him to get me both bonuses or I wasn't shipping on the 11th. Bald-faced lies.

Yes Joe but if he has already signed his papers. With a war going on they will come get his ass bonus or no.
Nah, there are ways to get out of it even if you've signed your papers. As long as you don't take off to bootcamp you're fine. Got a new tattoo? Got a story about how your recruiter lied to you? Just had buttseks with a dude?
Well I was thinking of switching branches, not getting out of the military. Maybe the Army, or maybe switching to another recruiting station.
You could just show them some of your posts on here. That would probably really straighten them out. The 9.11 conspiracy, the weed, Im sure there is enough on here for a decent list of Section 8 offenses. If you go to boot camp, maybe you can claim some kind of shock trauma and get disability the rest of your life without ever shipping out. Is the three grand going to kill you, or are you that dependent on it? I mean if you have a need for it, I can see it, but if you are worried about eating and sleeping the Corps will have a bed ready for you.
