Not sure why, but they put "Qualified for Airborne Training" on mine.
Yeah, other than the application there's noting binding a recruiter can have you sign. That's a good plan concerning your CJ teacher, but that Guidance Counselor may not like that depending on the day of the recruiting month and where the battalion stands on their quota. He'll tell you that the job may not be availabe if you wait. He'll want you to sign right then and there to "lock it in."

But, dude, you gotta do what's right by you. If you don't have the warm and fuzzy, don't sign. If it's meant to be, it'll be. That's faith, right? ;\)

That job or vacancy that he'll try to convince you you'll miss if you wait is nothing more than a training seat for a particular start date. There'll be more. Be patient if you have to. This is the biggest step you'll make in life other than marriage and having kids. Actually, sometimes combat seems better than being married with kids.

And that qualified for airborne thing - that means when they had you do the "duck walk" they checked to make sure your spincter closed all the way so you wouldn't whistle on the way down.
