Before reporting to boot, I have been told that you need to take care of all your legal issues, including tix?

Are there any exceptions regarding past due tickets? My recruiter told me I could get a bonus and extra $ for college if I report to boot very soon, but, there is no way I can take care of my tix before then... I assume that thhere is no exception, but, it's worth asking

That's right , don't make the same mistakes i did , you will really regret it , you'll lose any guarantee contract you had
Dont go to boot camp with outstanding tickets because they will turn to warrants when you fail to appear.. Unless you can afford an attorney who will fight on your behalf you have to settle your tickets now.. And be wary of promises made by recruiters in order to get you to leave sooner..Leave when it is in your best interest, not theirs..Your in charge, not them.
NO EXCEPTIONS! Recruiters will promise ANYTHING! But they lie! Be sure to read the small print!
Recruiters are stupid. They just wan't to get that extra grand for signing you up and they try and push you as fast as possible. You need to take care of your tickets and everything before you go into the army because recruiters don't have that much say regarding stuff like that. You need to come clean with everything because I know people who have gotten the shitty end of the deal because their recruiter tried to get them advances under the table. And as far as bonuses they change weekly and it depends on when you sign up. Most people don't get a very big bonus going into the army but they do for reinlisting. You should sign a shorter contract then when your reinlistment window opens go for the big bucks. It takes $100,000 to train a new soldier so it is actually cheaper for the government to give 20-30 grand bonuses rather than spending that on a new recruit.
That is correct, make sure you take care of all of your court issues, they will turn outstanding fines once you get out of basic. If you hire an attorney he will take care and show up on your behalf. kind of expensive though.
