Good tactic!! If you really wanted to scare them you should have said the Marines. Then again they would have looked at you...laugh...and say see you later. When do you go to basic?

yes. You can change jobs as often as you like until your day of shipment. Don't let your recruiter talk you into keeping the job you don't want because they don't want to do the extra paper work. Just tell your recruiter and they'll take care of it for you.

You can cross train into ATC

You can cross train into ATC once you get to your job(the one you don't want). Just talk to the retraining people in the personnel office

hey, just because you picked

hey,
just because you picked a job at the recruiters office doenst mean its final, you will pick again at MEPS and again at basic. so if you havent been to meps yet. I'd change it there. But the recruiter has a quota to make of how many of this job and how many of another job so unless your well informed you have a chance of being swindeled into something you dont want to do.

if the recruiter to gives you a hard time about changing jobs and you really want out there is a way you can get out of DEP. go to http://www.objector.org/, they can help you out. You will still be able to join another branch and even the airforce, but if you tried to go with the airforce aagain it would be under thier terms. about.com is pretty helpful too
