I have contacted a couple of different recruiters and I'm not getting the same answer.I would just like to clear this up. I am getting ready to graduate with my degree and was wondering how I can repay my loans while on active duty. what things do I need to have in my contract?

Not necessarily in your contract you will need to talk to your command about the student loan repayment normally your command is the one you work with to get that started as far as I am aware recruiters don't deal with that neither does MEPS

My recommendation to you is to make damn sure it is in writing before signing your name on the dotted line. My wife was promised student loan repayment and later on realized she wasn't getting it and it wasn't in her contract. Good luck.
