Reply #148: Did you have a degree?

[bdab1973]

Because if you did, you shouldn't have even bothered talking to a "regular" recruiter, and gone straight to the medical officer recruiters. They specifically recruit people with medical degrees, and they will NOT sign you up to be a simple medic. There is no enlisted MOS for a dietitian in any branch of the military. A simple visit to the Army recruiting website would tell you to go to a medical officer recruiter.

While it's disturbing that a regular recruiter (ie, someone who recruits enlisted personnel) somehow convinced you that you'd be a dietitian if you enlisted in the military, it's equally mind-boggling why you didn't do any basic research before joining. I think I had a pile of literature to sift through before I even called a recruiter, and that was both times (enlisted in the Army National Guard at 18, and went through active USAF Officer Training School some 8 years later).
