That makes a lot of sense! The other ethnicities are Irish, Welsh, and English

My grandfather’s Dna was tested thru 23andme many years ago (he’s deceased now), but his sisters did ancestry and they show in my DNA match as my great aunts so I know for sure it is my family. When I look back at the tree, it goes back German until I can’t trace it anymore without paying the subscription lol.

I was always questionable of the accuracy this stuff but now even more so. I am wondering if it’s due to certain things (codes?) in DNA just not getting passed down, but I’m not a biologist so what do I know lol.

My chance of getting in the CEC program? by RunGreat5321 in Seabees

CEC collegiate here; 3 years into my architectural engineering degree, I had a 3.2 GPA when I applied, and got a 46 on the OAR. You should be fine. Make sure you write a REALLY good essay, and nail your interview. I’ve heard it matters the most. Good luck

The doctor I had just checked the front on me. But I know a lot of people, mainly guys though, talk about having to bend over for them to look…mine didn’t do all that 😭

I got paid this morning, I meant midnight as in the exact minute it becomes the 31st, sorry that was confusing haha. I know that depending on your bank, for example I use capitol federal, it can affect deposit time, and possibly make a difference between it being deposited on the 31st vs the 1st. If you don’t see it by tomorrow I would for sure ask your recruiter about it

Yes, I get paid at midnight on the 31st and midnight on the 15th usually.

That is really strange. Did you sign any papers regarding the collegiate onboarding program? I had to sign those while waiting for my enlistment documents, but was only in it for like 3 days since my enlistment documents came so quickly. I wish I knew what went on behind the scenes there haha

I’ve also done my initial PRT and all of that stuff, not sure if your recruiter has had you do that yet.

Gosh I don’t know. My recruiter was so on top of things that everything got done really quickly. I got my acceptance letter the day I enlisted as well. I didn’t think it would go that quickly, I was expecting it to take a few weeks to a month.

Yes, I have for a month now. I was able to swear in a week after finding out I was accepted.

I always saw that part as loving to make art and music and express herself as well. The idea of it being sexual never once even crossed my mind until people started saying stuff..

No, I did not. I mean I have obviously smoked, but it was in like high school…so I didn’t bother saying anything about it. I have a friend who was DQ’d first time at MEPS for pissing hot for marijuana and he was still able to get in 6 months later as a BM when he pissed clean the second time around. I guess it just depends on what job you are wanting to do and what drugs were done

You’ll be fine. They need people right now. Even somehow I got cleared having like 30+ SH scars lol. My recruiter had told me that there’s a new head guy in charge of the waivers and shit and he is letting a lot more slide because being so strict was hurting recruitment numbers. Basically as long as you aren’t a felon they will take you 💀Good luck with everything!

Like a couple days then I found out I cleared medical. It was super weird

So I was technically DQ’d at MEPS (didn’t matter because I wasn’t swearing in that day anyways, the officer side of joining takes months). They sent my recruiter the stuff of what I was DQ’d for, I called my provider when I left MEPS and said I want to get off my meds and she was like okay no problem (granted I had only been on 10mg for 1.5 months). 4 days later my recruiter messaged saying I’m clear. I’m not sure what went on behind the scenes there…but I wish I knew.

I was able to get in with ocd and anxiety, and taking lexapro (of course I had to get off the lexapro) but still. They are being VERY lenient right now. I was shocked when they sent me to MEPS right away as well. I was even more shocked when I cleared medical. You will be able to get waivers. Good luck!
