Got a call from the recruiter, who told me that I got accepted as a 3C0 at Travis. There weren't any openings for an officer. I still need to pick a date to ship out to Texas...any suggestions? July or September?
First, I found out that Travis didn't have a need for 3C0, but he talked to the chief over there, who was willing to "interview" me. I went over there and talked to him about what the unit did (often goes overseas to secure a location and set up computer equipment). He liked me well enough to recommend me, even though the job is sought after and I have no prior service. After that was over, the recuiter told me that I had to be approved for "split training", which is when tech school isn't currently available and will be scheduled later after basic training. That means I get to go home after 6weeks of basic!
Update1:
wow! recruiter just called again and found dates for tech school, so I'll be going to basic, then tech school right afterwards. I wonder if I can attend basic during the early winter, then go home for Christmas, then go to tech school.
Update2:
Went to the recruiter's office this morning and took the oath with him and a major (who incidentally works in the same dept that I do). Shipping out on July 27 to basic and coming back on Dec 20 from Tech School. Yay!
