I've been talking with a recruiter and doing paperwork since about the 11th of July. Rode down to Butte with him on Wed to take the ASVAB, which I scored a 94 on. That, by the way, is 94th percentile, not 94 percent. Then it was up at 0430 Thurs morning. Spent 0600 to about 1400 doing my MEPS stuff and getting the contract organized. Swore in at about 1415, and even that was an awesome experience. I am in the Delayed Entry Program. My date to ship down to San Diego for basic is October 9th. My MOS is 03, infantry, but they can't guarantee me a specific MOS in this field--I could be a rifleman, machinegunner, mortar man, or any of several other specific MOSs in the field of infantry. Anyways, I am stoked that I made it through MEPS with flying colors, even with a previous knee injury requiring surgery. I am glad I don't have to worry about basic training in Southern California during the summer and that I have time to work on my physical and mental fitness. I think I made the right decision and put myself in a position to improve myself, and the world around me, and that feels good. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't more than just a little worried about the challenges that lie ahead.
