It wasn't easy to sit there and hold my ground on getting my option 4. He kept promising that I'll get it in Basic. There were 3 other Army Infantry recruits there who wanted Airborne but didn't get anything. I'm a lot happier with this selection

Good luck bro.....![]()
I went with a full on argument with the liason. Told him there are slots opened everyday for new recruits you know it and I. He tried playing like I was an idiot and didn't know how the military works.
I just told him, look im going DEP anyways put me on that list for a year if you have to I want airborne or im not going in.... took about 2 hours and I got my bonus ripped from me at the same time (guy was an asshole) but I got what I wanted!
In retro spec that guy should of gave me the bonus and knocked himself out for giving me a hard time. Hope I never cross paths with him again.
Good luck on the 18X contract, just remember discipline will be the key to your success in it. Stay sharp.

Not a rare event.
Pulled the same shit, 11X no Airborne available. Fuck off I'll wait. An hour later I was signing 11X Airborne with guaranteed 82nd placement.

GTG! - I took the DLAB way long ago. I was a Spanish linguist 98G/C.
There is really no way to study for this test. I will always remember this test as being one of the weirdiest.
I thought that I'd be a German linguist because I was an Army brat and knew the German language. The Army saw my talent as a Spanish linguist -LOL!
Anyways, it was better because the Spanish language put me in the 82nd. HOOAH!

I dont understand this shit. Its a fucking slot on ATTRS. How mother fucking hard is it. This fucker has ATTRS access. I dont understand taking bonuses away either this career counselor has a fucking chip on his shoulder. Put the recruit in for it if the slot is available. If not be honest and tell the recruit to wait till later.does honesty and integrity evaporate from their body when they become a career counselor?? Those fuckwits are tools.
