First off, how is the MOS training done? i'm thinking combat engineer, Military police, or motor transport operation. im not sure about transportation or engineering, but i believe the MOS training for MP is 8 weeks (feel free to correct me if im wrong).
Now, is that 8 weeks spent in an army base in one shot, spread out, or do i train for that my one weekend a month and by 8 weeks they mean 8 weekends?
if i dont train for that my one weekend a month, what is the normal ruetine for that weekend?
next is the $20,000 signing bonus, a recruitment officer told me that i'd be payed half after i complete basic and half at the end of my service. what are the restrictions on this? My mom told me of someone from my area that joined and was told he would get the 20,000 but somehow he didnt recieve it, probably didnt read the fine print and was ineligible, but i still need to ask about it. it could have even been my mom trying to deter me from joining once i turn 18 because she doesnt like the idea.
finally, i will be going to college while im in the guards, and if i dont get deployed i plan to transfer to an out of state university to get my bachelors or masters. are there many requirements/restrictions to transfering to a unit in a different state?
