it sounds like the recruiter told the truth but it a perfect world. Like the guy said you get 30 days but you only get 2.5 days a month. I can tell you that if you do to a deployable unit like the 101st(they have alot of choppers) you cant just take your leave when you want. They will in a sense give you the dates you can go. I am not dogging the military but its not as easy and luxiorious as the recruiter makes. The govt will get theirs out of you. And I can tell you at some point in time you will get screwed with your pay or leave time, it happens with everybody. Im glad youve decided to wait. Because you never know what could happen. You could go straight to iraq from AIT. That mos is critical, chances that you go straight to Iraq or go to Iraq within 6 months from AIT is REALLY high. You might get lucky and go to a unit that just got back, but I doubit. The army is great in a lot of ways, but it also can be shitty. So get your answers and see how it goes. After being in for a year or two you will have figured it out
