Jobs are assigned based on the needs of the Navy. When I was in bootcamp, the Navy had already assigned all HM orders through October.
What you DO NOT WANT to do is sign up with another job in hopes that HM will open up and you will be able to get that. A guy in our division signed as a GM while waiting for a SWCC contract, but in the process of getting transferred, lost both jobs and is now undesignated.
My advice would be to wait for a contract as an HM if it's not open when you get classified. Be aware that it might take a while to get, but they can't make you sign a contract for a job that you don't want.
