Because of my aptitude test scores, I was given more time to decide on what I want to do in the forces because I was shown that I had a lot of opportunities. I have what I want to do in mind, but the recruiting website shows that the position isn't open at the moment. There really isn't anything else I'd rather do, and I told my mom about this problem (big mistake).
Now I'm taking all kinds of flak from her at every opportunity she can find to tell me that I should join the army and go for whatever's available and just transfer into the job I want when it's open. This really seems impractical to me with the amount of training I'd take part in only to jump into another job as soon as it's available and start training once again. I imagine it would be years and years for this process to even happen.
My question is this: should I go into the army for a job only because it's open and wait for my job to open up and transfer in? And if I did, how long would I be waiting for? (I'm planning on becoming a Combat Engineer)
