Question
Son has joined under dep program dep papers promises master at arms after boot camp. Will the active duty contract promise the same thing.
Trish,
The contract that he signed at the MEPS SHOULD be the same one that he enters the NAVY with...There should be no changes unless his status is changed then he would have to be re-classed. If not.. then what he got shoudl be what he goes in with.... I would double check with his recruiter to be sure....Make him or her work for you!

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
