You're almost done! All you have left to do is to go over your contract and enlistment options and take the Oath of Enlistment to enlist in the Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP).

A counselor will go over your contract with you line-by-line. The counselor will also go over the various enlistment options, and any enlistment incentives you may qualify for, based on the MOS (job) you choose, and your qualifications. If you failed to qualify for an MOS that you may have pre-selected in the recruiter's office, the counselor will discuss althernative job possibilities.
