If he was truly helping you out, he’d help you with your warrant packet. The problem is, warrants don’t help fill his quotas. With all the required training, it takes too long to count for his numbers. That’s why he’s trying to hook you up. Misdemeanor? That won’t prevent you from going straight to warrant.

The warrants in my class who were prior crew chiefs, who, like you were lied to by the recruiter, had so much animosity toward their recruiter for wasting 3-5 years of their life. Makes their blood boil. And it makes mine do the same. Your first interaction with a noncommissioned officer in the Army is a guy who is lying to you to benefit himself. It’s an effing shame.

Tell him you are going warrant, or you are walking out the door and tearing up your contract. If he says no, demand to talk to his commander, or tell him you are going to the IG (inspector general) for him lying to you. Watch how quickly he helps you out. Or, if you want, pm me his phone number, and I’ll call him with you on the line.
