    The world is a harsh place.

    In 12 years combined service, I have yet to see or hear of a single person that did not get paid their bonus. Now I have seen several people that didnt get a bonus in their contract, but believed a recruiter. If it isnt in the contract, then it never happened.

    I wont be going to UIraq anytime in the near future. I will either be changing units and jobs or getting out if they cant give me what I want.

    i agree with the contracts, some recruiters will tell u anything to get their quota. my brother was supposed to get a bonus for reinlisting but when it came time to sign on the line it wasn' there so he jumped ship.

    what is your job title at the moment, if you were in the navy my father could help out, he still has friends in high places b/c he retired as an e-9 and i think there are only a few e-10's in the navy, i forgot the title. he helped out with my brother and when my ex-wife tried check fraud while still in the military. and when she remarried she did not pay her bills like she was supposed to and somehow my dad knew her new husbands c/o in italy. it was really funny. she is on her 5th husband now and is only 27 so that was bad judgement on my part.

    Some recruiters will do that, but thankfully, the ones that do that are being weeded out and sent back to their MOS and some are even getting kicked out.

    I will most likely try to get on as a Blackhawk crew chief at Dobbins. If not, maybe go back to fixing them. I tried to go navy reserve after I got out of the corps, but they were going to take a stripe so I said no thanks. Recruiter even tried to get me a waiver because of my time and the fact that I was going to go in with the exact same job.

    interesting job. i have always wanted to go for a ride in a chopper. i bet they suck working on sometimes. my brother was an MR in the navy so he can make just about anything from metal. you can get good skills in the military depending on what your good at.
