It doesn’t matter. You get a job based on your ASVAB score and a few other factors. Everyone will still be going to the same MEPS in that area.

    It really will not make any difference. Though the station that isn’t so busy may spend some extra time with you, you will still end up with the same job. Most of that is for the needs of the Army and your test scores.

    The jobs are made available from Army HQ – not by the recruiters. The office that isn’t doing as well may be more willing to meet with you – and even LIE to you – than the other one, because they HAVE to get the recruits. If they don’t meet their quota, they can get fired and lose their careers, so they’ll be more willing to let you believe anything to get you to sign on the dotted line.

    I’d go to the busy one.

    no, actually they have all but stopped enlisting till around november i believe because the numbers for enlistments were so high in recent months that they have been instructed from tradoc and higher levels to cut recruiting. Doesnt matter which station you go to, more who your recruiter is and how honest he is about helping you. Just know that there is a lot of sign on bonus money to be had, quick ship bonus, a bonus if you are going into your senior year of high school, a (time of year) bonus. and much more. What do you want to do in the army. Do you want to be able to use it as a civilian? Your best bet is to talk to the recruiters, take the asvab and see what your score offers you and go from there. Feel free to contact me with any questions as I have extensive exp. with your situation.

    My advise to you is join the air force having been the army the air force has better living quarters and more real world relevent jobs. You got nothing to loose by talking to them too.
