Hello
My name is Matt, I'm an 18yo cook living outside of Allentown Pa. In the past I have talked to the Navy recruiters and was going to enlist as Navy EOD. Instead the Doctors at Meps failed me, Because I had "severe" acne on my back, my buddy makes me look like a smooth skinned princess and he got in the next week (Marines). Anyway I have been talking to the Army recruiter since then as well as hovering on this forum to gather as much info as I can.
I received word from my recruiter today that I am going down to Meps in one weeks time (weds into thurs). She also said that she has had 2 recruits enlist with the option 40 Contract. My acne is a lot less than it was (almost clear) so I should be able to pass. All my court fines (accident, speeding ticket, inspection violations) are all paid off and I don't smoke pot so I should be able to breeze right through the physical and into the counselor's office.
Now I will take all tips and orders you have for me.
Matt

Thank you Ranger Slowpoke.
I dont know how I would like the taste of worms. I guess it depends, What kind of worms would I be eating?

Re: Hello From Pa
I know exactly where that is.
Re: Hello From Pa
Jeep,
You caught my eye for a couple reasons.
I live in New Oxford which is east of Gettysburg. Allentown isn't to far away.
Also, You said your recruiter is a "she" with 2 OP40 recruits???
My recruiter has 1 other Op40 recruit other than me.
Is her first name Rebecca and would this be in Hanover?
Just fits together, Let me know.
Thanks
