I will start off by saying I know that what I am considering is a SHITTY thing to do and many will see me as a quitter, but allow me to explain.
First of all, I am 100% qualified for Airborne and an Option 40 contract, I scored a 99 on the ASVAB with a GT score of 135.
I went to MEPS two days ago with intention of getting an 11x Option 40 contract. I had explained to my recruiter that this is what I wanted and he told me he would call his 1SG and that he'd "pull strings" to get me it. Long story short, in my excitement and eagerness to enlist I signed just an 11x contract, no option 4 or option 40. I initially said no and was ready to leave, but my recruiter talked me into it and said he could get the option 40 added later. I ship in five weeks and it's very unlikely that will actually happen. I made an emotional decision and made a mistake, I know my chances of ever getting a shot at making it to Battalion are slim to none with my current contract. If I were to drop out of the DEP, with an Entry Level Separation ASAP, will I have a Reenlistment code that prevents me from getting an Option 40 contract in the future? I am willing to wait as long as it takes to get one.
I appreciate any advice anyone can give me, thanks!
