[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 711084, member: 1963"] That's sort of weird. The recruiter husband worked with (Army) insisted on speaking with me extensively during the process, which wasn't rushed. (Of course, the geopolitical situation was different: Cold War years.) husband went in on delayed enlistment because he had to GAIN weight. Once you sign up, you are "in". The only way you can back out is if something happens that permanently prevents you from serving. For example, husband broke his ankle 5 days before his report date. After he was cleared by his personal orthopedist, he had to be cleared by the Army orthopedists as fit to serve before he could report for the next training cycle. The Army docs delayed him for another 6 weeks as there was some question as to whether he was healed enough to handle calisthenics and running/marching. (husband was already running on the ankle without problem.) [/QUOTE]
