One small step...

I finally swore in today at MEPS after spending 10 hours doing damn near nothing.

Lol.....That's called 'hurry up and wait'.

Congratulations....

Ship date: 20100628
MOS: open contract(until next fiscal year)

Lol yeah, I was done and waiting to do the underwear olympics at 9:30.. I was done doing the good ol duck walk at 12:30. They made me wait for EVERYONE else.. We had one doctor doing 10 of us, and then he did the females before he went and did us, let alone he was slow as hell. Good times, got to know a few cool people. One guy was a SSgt. in the Army, he was in recon and was just telling us about the stuff he did (he was going OCS).

My recruiter and the other recruiters during the trainings make us do that all the time. It has also made me learn the importance of bearing while in formation too. Nothing sucks more than standing at attention for what seems like forever and almost being able to parade rest and one of the recruiters does something hilarious and makes you laugh. Now you have to do smurf jumping jacks till your legs are jello, which by the way, will kill your run on the practice IST!
