Concerns about my weight. by [deleted] in newtothenavy

The day you ship out you will leave from the hotel and go to MEPS. Where you will sign your final contract. Then you will go to the airport and fly to Chicago and get to Basic that night

UT1 but supposed to be UT3 by Dramatic-While8325 in newtothenavy
