Off to take the ASVAB...

[Harrison]

My friends ask me every day. I don't tell anyone yes or no lol

It's my own little game.

[leah]

OH COME ON

[brinstar]

your game is stupid

[Harrison]

It's fun for me, at least lol

So I swear in Thursday. I just need to get more specific information on some of my references. Middle names, etc. (they're ridiculous since I'm going to need a security clearance for my M.O.S.)

[leah]

yeah that's probably the lamest game ever. especially since boning someone would get SO MANY PEOPLE off your back about stupid shit. settle it!

[Diekan]

Only a few days left until I'm officially a soldier...

Negatory... you don't get that title till you graduate Basic.

Trust me, you'll understand where I am coming from when it happens.

[Harrison]

I don't plan on failing. That isn't an option.

[Kramer]

well, again, i am excited for you because you seem to be, but do be safe, and i hope it ends up beig more than you hoped for

[Harrison]

Well, it's now or never. I swear in Thursday up in Boston.

I'll be leaving for Basic in January, my little brother is in my unit, and I'll be a Combat Medic (68W "Healthcare Specialist" aka Field/Combat Medic)

There weren't any slots for 25B unless I waited a year to leave to AIT after Basic. Fuck that. (Information Systems Operator/Analyst)

68W was my backup so I'm not disappointed at all. It's half the training as well. I doubt I will, but it gives me the option of being a paramedic in the civilian world if I decide to pursue that after.

[Drem]

good luck man

[ClakarEQ]

Harri, stay safe and make us proud, you know, represent.

[brinstar]

is this *just* a career move, or do you really trust this country's leaders that much?

[Arlos]

If you find you really like being a medic and being in the army, if you stay in for a while, you might be able to get them to pay for college up through med school.

Worth a thought, anyway. Would mean big bucks once you got out, and I believe minimum rank for a full MD is captain.

[Harrison]

I doubt I'll make a career of it but, who knows. I should be going back to sleep. I have to be up in 4 hours to be poked, prodded, and probed for 12+ hours

[Trielelvan]

Have a good day Lt. Guinea Pig. I hope they're gentle.

Be safe

[Harrison]

Well, after two days of bullshit I am now officially sworn in.

Pvt. Joshua Ian Harrison

I ship out to Basic May 22nd. Then I'm off to Fort Worth, TX. Where the female to male ratio is 8:1 for 16weeks.

I guess my self control will be put to the test.

On a brighter note, my little brother is in my unit so I can look after him (aka he's going to be my bitch.)

Is that nearby?

[Darcler]

Not as close as Fort Worth but its still in TX Thats in San Antonio or so...uh...4 hours from where I am. I'll head over there, np.
