Your recruiter can promise you the world but you better get it in writing in your enlistment contract. Even if you do, there’s a war on, which means they will put you where they see fit.
if you have nothing major in your criminal background you will have no problem getting a security clearance at all
i have had minor infractions and still received a clearance
If you do happen to not make it thru Airborne school or AIT. Do not fret. You will be give the option to choose 3 MOS that you would like. And 90% of the time you will get 1 of the 3.
Okay let me try to clear this up starting with the clearance. Your clearance can be bad when you enter the service, just make sure you have a payment plan set up to show that you are working effectively to get rid of your debt (you will be making money during BCT that you can use to steadily pay off your debt). If you you are making progress on reducing your debt, you will get your clearance, you may have an interim for a while, but just keep the finances straight and the security clearance will be no problem (remember, try to start paying off debt now. Consistency beats quantity. Three payments of $ 100 is better than one payment of $ 300)
Airborne training sounds worse than it is! Everybody tries to make it out as a super-hooah school, but if you can pass basic, you can pass airborne. Just stay focused!
Now for the bad news; if you fail to stick to your debt payment plan, you will not get a clearance and you will be reclassed to the “needs of the army,” which can be whatever they want! (usually not desireable jobs)
Remember, you can have all the debt in the world, just make sure you have a good payment plan.
