Round 2

I had the chance to talk to my sister's boyfriend and he provided me a lot of information. Summarizing what he basically said was this:
A soldier’s career starts with a simple decision of serving his or her country. Once a person shows interest in joining the Army, they would then need to see a recruiter. It is the recruiter’s job to evaluate the person’s ability to serve in the army and initiate entry into the service. The process of enlisting in the Army takes anywhere from three to eight weeks. The process can go very quickly if all of the paper work is completed properly and the person has no prior criminal record or physical restrictions. A person undergoes various different tests to determine whether they are physically and mental prepared for service. Once all tests are complete and the person is approved to join the Army they are then sent to a career counselor. The career counselors job is to fit each individual with a job that fits there abilities and the army’s needs at that time. After Choosing a job a contract is worked out that outlines the service member’s length of service. The minimum requirement to join the army is three years. After signing the contract, the service member is sworn in and sent to Basic Training. At basic training, service members are required to meet a number of training requirements that all soldiers must complete. Once basic training is completed each soldier is broken down into there specific job and sent to Advanced Individual Training (AIT). There they train exclusively on their military occupational skill, otherwise known as MOS. Once they complete all training requirements that prepare them to do their job at a skill level one.
He had to go to work at this point, but I will talk to him soon and get the rest of the information. I like getting information in first person, especially talking on the phone because I can ask as many questions as I want and he can repeat things for me to understand. Knowing that he has experience in this field also makes me confident in what he has to say.
