Enlistment Contract Review
Following medical approval, you'll meet with a counselor from the service that you are joining. The counselor will go over your active duty enlistment contract with you. It's important that you go over this contract carefully. Regardless of what is in the DEP contract, this is the contract that will apply after you take the oath and go onto active duty. If your recruiter told you that you would be enlisting as an E-3, and this contract says you're enlisting as an E-1, then you're enlisting as an E-1. Active duty enlistment contracts can generally not be changed after you sign them and take the oath (Note: There are some exceptions to this, but generally, contracts are renegotiated only when in the best interest of the service).
