Can a person get a better deal by negotiating with the Health Service Recruiter? For example, could a person get a bonus or undergraduate loan repayment?

very funny........
Sorry, I had to pick myself off of the floor from laughing.
The short answer is, "No way."

Nice, professional job, Fiend.

Thanks! I needed that good laugh.

What do you guys find so funny is my question? Hell yes they are negotiable. I screwed my recruiter to the tune of:

1 army backpack, 2 army small duffles, 4 very nice pens, 3 coffee mugs, some stickers, a carabeener, lunch for me and my girlfriend at Chilis, and a waterbottle.

Not negotiable.....just got to know how to work the magic....they did balk at the company car and new laptop idea though.....

I emailed my recruiter (Navy) and told him I'm running a couple of marathons this summer/fall including the Marine Corps Marathon and if he sent me some extra crap I'd wear it! It never hurts to ask.

I also thought the OP's question was humorous, but restrained myself when I first saw it 🙄

Lucky duck! I didn't get anything that says Air Force!

I was given a free cruise on the exotic Persian Gulf with trips to the Northern Arabian Gulf on a fine luxury ship with both unlimited hot and cold water!

I KNOW that was not the Saratoga or the America then!

Hollywood showers every morning and evening. We had so much fresh water that we actually had to dump it. Our air det, go figure, would set up the inflatable wading pool in the hanger. We normally sat in the 90%+ on potable water. We had the sweetest smelling crew that I have ever met.

water rationing? HA! try being on the Enterprise, 8 reactors = 8 distiling plants = tons of water. We would use smoke curtain clamps to hold down the button for the shower head and really have a hollywood shower! 😎
