What is the name of your state? California
I am a Marine Corps Iraq vet who joined the CA National Guard after EAS'ing from the Marines. I had it garunteed in my contract that I would be a 19K(Tanker), but I was an Infantryman in the Marines. I've been in the Guard for nearly a year now, and I have not attended MOS school, nor done anything at all whatsoever related to my new MOS. Here is the interesting part...I recently recieved orders to Kosovo for a 554 days(a 3 day notice), assigned to a totally different unit as an infantryman. Luckily I was declared medically non-deployable at SRP, but I am going to be fully deployable as soon as I get my doctor to sign off. Is it ok for the Guard to do this; just send me to different units in a job that I didn't want?? I was promised 19K in my contract, and my recruiter promised me this, that this is the only job I would do, and he also promised I wouldn't be deployed since i recently fought in Iraq with the Marines. My wife is a witness to his lies(she was with me whenever I went to the recruiters). He also promised me I could use the tuition assistance the same time as my G.I. Bill, which I can't. My wife is willing to testify under oath to his lies. What course of action should I take? Please help for I am a full-time college student, married man who is trying to get something done in my life and the Guard is becoming nothing but a burden on my career advancment.
