useless, he doesnt blame troops/recruiters, and our military has been corrupt for over 100 years, so u blame alex for not citing ways on how to overthrow it? not a viablle point
and he does say in one of his docs. that most troops have no idea of the big picture, and he claims most of you are stand up people who want to do good, just you sir, feel the need to blast alex because his site has a summary and link of something that i wouldnt doubt did happen, his first? post has valid points, but if the article is correct, then imo he was mislead, banks to it, crediters, schools, so since the military has a “binding agreement” doesnt mean they dont lie. people are known to use thier knowledge to outsmart people who are less informed

I refused to take the ASVAB. And will refuse the physical if they force it. I believe in education of people, not killing them. Its easy to go to war, but not easy to stop it. If we listened to Iraq’s people, maybe we can avoid attacks in the future. Bush fouled up by attacking Iraq, and now we must pay for it. No wonder many do not pay taxes as they go to useless things.

I really think this happened. I was in the military and still work around them today – oversea’s. I know the in’s and out’s of the military way of life.

Recruiters, yes, have quota’s that they got to fill. Hey it’s extra money. Who doesn’t want extra money??

If they (the recruiters) think that their losing someone who does not know much about the military they will tell them anything to keep them from not going.

Our country today is “fighting” this “War on Terror” — They need ALL the warm bodies they can get!!

What is Army DEP?

The US Army Delayed Entry Program is an Army program under which an individual may enlist in a Reserve or Inactive Component of the United States Army and specify a future reporting date for entry on active duty in the Active Component that would coincide with availability of training spaces and with personal milestones. (graduation is the most common).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I join the Army Delayed Entry
Program?

By joining via the Army Delayed Entry Program, you give yourself up to an entire year to research, think about, and decide if you made the right choice in joining the military; while ensuring that you get locked in for the training, tour length and duty station of your choice.

What if I want to get out of the Delayed Entry Program?

Then you do not have to go. It’s as simple as that. Although your recruiter will most likely make it very uncomfortable, you should know that there are ways to go about removing yourself from the Army Delayed Entry Program. Keep in mind, your time in Army Delayed Entry Program ends once you report for basic training.

Am I subject to the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) while I am in the Delayed Entry Program?

No. You do not have to abide by military law until you actually leave for basic training or boot camp.

What if I am in the Delayed Entry Program but want to change my enlistment options?

Although your recruiter will not tell you this or make it easy, you can renegotiate your contract at any time while you are in the Delayed Entry Program.

How can you win a war if your soldier go to war to get a decent paycheck?? in times your enemy fights for no paycheck in return rather he fight to free his land from the invaders. Through out the History no Invading Army ever won forever. If America was attacked for real, I know that thousands of Americans would be willing to sacrifice their lives to kick the invader out for no rewards other than freedome. just like when they fought against the British and the spanish. But to fight so the Oil companies thrive and triple their profits, sure they need to pay you to be willing to fight. No No No whoever thinks he is fightng in Iraq or Afganistan to protect his Alleged freedome or Land which is thousands of miles away cross the ocean is wrong. You will never understand how much the people their are willing to sacrifice to free their lands. No money, no Job promised no benifits, just fight to free the land is what drive them and that’s why life for them becomes cheap to sacrifice it. You need to understand that Iraqi people prefer one thousand Saddam Husien over one foreigner. It’s tribal thinking, you might fight with your brother against your cousin, but also you fight with your cousin against the stanger. You go there you fight you die, do you think the Oil companies cares about you? they don’t they go after another recruit to offer him a big check to buy his Soul.
