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.)

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.)
