Finally..

Post by tN4rg »

Well, to all you newts out there that may be worried about MEPS and all that stuff- It's not so bad. Today I signed on as an 11x with an opt. 40; Which I was told that they weren't opening any more slots till Dec.

Anyway, stick with it guys, aside from pissing in that cup, it wasn't so bad..

Were you worried about burning the bottom out of it?

Personally I thought all the waiting was the worst part, and I still got some more waiting to go.

I second that. He'll pass, from what I heard from these newbies who just came from boot, they cant even smoke you anymore nor can they "swear" or do any such things and I also heard that the Army lowered their weight standards to let more fat pogue fucks in, more the reason to get out the conventional and go unconventional.
