Im in the DEP as a hospital corpsman, but I want to be an IS. My ship date is sept 20th. when I ask about my reclassification status the recruiter tells me that theyre working on it and I dont have to really worry since the ship date is far off. Is he bullshitting me? I dont know what they have to do to get me reclassed and how complicated it is, if at all, so i dont know if maybe theyre not doing anything at all!

not necessarily. going from HM( an undermanned rating for males) to IS can be a long hard slog. IS requires a Clearance, and that takes time to research to see if you actually can get one. and if IS is at strength, or overmanned, they will be less likely to make any kind of decision quickly.

DOn't know if they are giving you the run around, but keep in mind there is a lot more security clearance paper work to go through to change to IS. It is up to you, but you might want to tell them you don't want to ship out until you see IS in writting. See how they react to that and go from there. Good Luck!

If you truly want to be screwed in the worst possible way, always remember to go navy! Please tell your navy recruiter that if you don't get what's on the contract you wish to remain a civilian or will turn to one of the other branches to give them an opportunity to compete with the navy!

Recruiters in all branches are like car salesmen. They will only tell you exactly what you want to hear.
