Question
Ok so i have gone through all of the process' of joining the military. Scored in the 50's on my ASVAB done all the paper work, passed MEPS, chose my MOS, signed a bunch of contracts, did my first swear in. Although when i was choosing my MOS the ones i have researched and wanted were unavaliable so i was forced into a job i didn't really want. But after research i see that it isnt the job for me. Now i have relatives who told me if its not the MOS i want i can ask my recruiter if it can be changed, or if i can wait for the one i want to be available or i always have the option to up out and join another branch that offers me the MOS i want.

My question is, is that possible? If i talk to my recruiter (Army) and they cant do anything or wont change my MOS contract, do i still have the option in not joining the army? Then can i go to other branches still? The tricky part i don't know about is that i already signed the contracts and swore in the first time, i am scheduled to go to basic in 4 months. So am i stuck? or do i still have options?

Answer
It is possible to change MOS, but unlikely unless  there is a job they need more.

As far as going another service, that won't happen.  

The only option you have is not to ship to basic and wait to see when they release you to try to join another service.
