MEPS on Friday
« on: December 13, 2007, 02:12:53 AM »
I finally figured that it was for me. After a long time of having buddies join, debating it, reading up on it, talking with actively serving servicemen/women, I decided it was for me. Just figured I'd put it up here. 4 years Active Duty Army.  :D

Any advice? Suggestions?

If you MUST know the job I picked, please PM me.

Prepare to walk around wearing nothing but boxers on your knees on the cold tile floor. Oh no, I'm not kidding!

Well I wish you the best of luck dude, practice up for the AZVAB, it does make a big difference. Take it like you would the SAT's.

What sucks is I coulda given you Active First and 40K bonus! damn I wish more kids would call me first!

ACTIVE FIRST:
 
- Choose 30, 36, 48, Months of active duty then return to your National Guard unit.

-Up to 40K in enlistment BONUS's

-Active Duty GI Bill with kicker + National Guard GI Bill with kicker + $11,000 a year tuition reimbursement + and $20,000 student loan repayment. oh and the tuition reimbursement and loan repayment thats only in the Guard.

-Pick your your MOS not just a desinator (I.E. 11x, 13x, 92x) have a real MOS prior to shipping.

-Begin drilling now begin getting PAID now.

Anyway good luck.

I got a specific job not just the general field. I have it in the contract that I'm also attending Jump School so I can put in for SOCM. :)

I appreciate that. After my bonuses and college money I came out to A little over $55,000.

It's not for you, dude.

You get paid to shoot shit, blow things up, go to strange new places, and in your case, poke people with needles and bone HOT ASS MEDIC CHICKS!

You're gonna hate it! :lol:

And, you better not ship out before I get back or I'm coming to Ft. Sam to smoke the living shit out of you.  :D

Ouch, well, we're gonna miss your departure for basic, but I'm sure azsarge will find a way to ruin your day at a later date.

I'm taken, yes, but I can still meet them to show them old pictures of you at AA games when you were 15. :lol:

It's all good bro, because now I have an excuse to come to San Antonio. 8)

Stupid ass. What the fuck would you do that for? From the sounds of it, you'll be combat medic(at least it had better be). If you ain't infantry you ain't shit.

Do some fuckin' pushups.

Visited Ft. Sam in JAN to see a best friend who has already completed everything you've enlisted for.

It sucked soooo bad.  Hopefully they made some improvements to AIT barracks conditions.

But good luck.
