A recruiter has no right to enter someone's private property. A person can ask a recruiter to leave and report the recruiter to the police for trespassing if the recruiter remains or comes back. Most workplaces are also private property, and a recruiter who comes to someone's workplace can be asked to leave and can be reported for trespassing if they refuse. If a recruiter doesn't leave someone alone in a school, the person can go to the principle or other school authorities to complain about the harassment.
Friends and family members are under no obligation to assist recruiters and need not give them access to private property. If a recruiter shows up at someone's home on the person's ship date, they have no right to enter the property without permission, nor are they allowed to force someone to leave the property.
Even in cases when a person has not had contact with the recruiter in weeks or months, it is still likely that the recruiter will attempt to contact a person and try to persuade him or her to go on the ship date. Many people decide to be away from home on the ship date to avoid possible confrontations with recruiters.
Sometimes people who have signed up for the DEP of one branch of the military decide they want to be in a different branch instead. Keep in mind that the GI Rights Hotline receives complaints about every branch of the military. We are in no position to endorse one branch or component as being the trouble-free option.
Because a person is only allowed to be in one branch of the service at a time, a DEP member who wants to change branches must be discharged before he or she can sign another contract. Because many recruiters leave people in the DEP for the entire year allowed, this presents a problem when people are in a hurry to join another branch. We do not recommend that anyone hurry into any military contract.
One avenue to speed up the process of getting out is to submit a letter asking for release. Some people use certified mail and save a copy of the letter for themselves. If after weeks of asking for discharge in writing there is no satisfactory reply, a person can contact their local congressional office and ask that an inquiry be done into status of their separation request. See house. People who have taken these steps can still get out of the DEP using methods described above.
Eventually a persons time in the DEP ends and the transition to active duty for training basic training begins. Up until that final point of the second swear in and signing of the last page of the contract, people have been able to get out of the DEP by simply refusing to go.
Once a person has sworn in the second time as part of shipping out they may still be able to get out of the military, but it will involve much more time and energy. People who believe they are in this status can contact a GI Rights Counselor at to determine what options they have. Recruiters in these components sometimes try to use this difference to confuse people into thinking it is much harder for them to get out than it is for people in the DEP.
This is typically true for members of the National Guard as well, however because National Guard members are also subject to state jurisdiction, they can face penalties at the state level. While most states simply release people who don't report, there are a few states that have punished some people for not reporting to basic or for missing drill.
Anyone who has signed up for reserves or National Guard and not yet gone to boot camp can call a GI Rights counselor to discuss their situation and issues in their state: You will get out of the military. As described above it may take some time before it is finalized, but eventually everyone who has not reported has been released. We have never seen withdrawing from the DEP have any effect on things like employment, bank loans, school eligibility, or your legal record.
Can I just go to another recruiter in the hopes of a more streamlined recruitment. Posted in these groups: Recruiter Potential Recruit. Follow this discussion. Responses: 8. Sort By Newest Oldest Votes. Absolutely, you can. There is only one reason for a recruiter to stall, assuming you are fully qualified to join and issue-free, and that has to do with quotas. If so, you might find that the issue persists at other recruiting stations, since they are likely in the same unit.
Have you asked the question of your recruiter why it seems to be taking so long? If you tell him you've been talking to the Navy, I'll bet he gets religion on moving your packet forward. Vote up. Vote down. Can you use a recruiter in another state? I don't think that'd be necessary if the man implies strongly that he is considering other options.
SGT Join to see. You absolutely can. A piece of advice. If you switch recruiters, break up the same way as you would with a girlfriend. Quick, painless, and no lingering relationship.
Make sure he transfers your packet, or closes it. Instant headache. And then just do it. Until you sign a contract and swear in, your recruiter works for you. This is sort of a holding pattern for the recruit, who have promised following through with going to boot camp. While the enlistment documents signed when enrolling into DEP are technically a contract, and in theory, the government could prosecute you in theory, NO ONE has been subject to court martial for backing out prior to boot camp in about 30 years.
The rationale? The U. On the other hand, if you do back out before boot camp, and you do change your mind, chances are good your recruiter will be pissed. If you end up reconsidering and want to join the same branch, chances are also good that you may have closed a few options for yourself. This one is hard to believe, but it does happen.
You may have two, three, four, or six years active duty, but all contracts are for 8. If you make it to boot camp i. Very often, these payouts happen only upon the completion or during technical military training. But as with everything, read the fine print if one is offered to you.
They know where to find you, after all. Boot camp has changed a whoooole lot in a relatively short period of time. Talk to any old timer either on active duty or better, retired who went through basic 20 years ago and ask him how things were back then. There may even be one in your recruiting office.
