Ugent Assistance Needed! Delayed Enlistment Program + Army

A friend of mine wants to enlist in the Army. He's already signed Delayed Enlistment Program paperwork as a turbo machinery mechanic...

Here's where I need your help.

Does anyone know what I can look at, specifics preferred, to make sure he doesn't get screwed by this contract.


Some back story
We've caught the recruiter in two lies thus far (one could be plain stupid ignorance - but it was on the GI Bill). The other lie was DIRECTLY to his mother

I've already caught a few gotchas that have me PISSED that they pull that sort of ****...

We just want to make sure that he won't get screwed over... I know of two people thus far that have been - one started off (and signed to be) as a firefighter - a 9 mo. into his service, he was retrained and is now in Baghdad... That said - I would appreciate the "don't enlist" sentiment -- we're way past that and it doesn't help. The decision is his, we're backing it with our ability...
