[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 328486, member: 439"] My son had a delay date for the Navy, but that's because he signed up at age 17. He (we) signed the paperwork in November, he turned 18 in March, graduated in June and he didn't leave for basic training until mid-August of the next year. That was the absolute latest he was allowed to report. My son went in as an E2 because of Civil Air Patrol rank, and he was "promised" a job. In fact, the Navy was the ONLY branch that would do so. The Air Force would promise the general area of interest (the Army wouldn't promise anything and he didn't talk to the Marines). He wanted to be an air craft mechanic and the Navy was the only branch that said he would be - and he was, worked on F18s on a carrier. I had a friend in high school that did get a delay in reporting to basic, but that's because he had a motorcycle accident the week before he was to report and really messed his leg up. As soon as he could walk he had to report, they just waived some of the physical requirements. [/QUOTE]
