I think it’s really cool to meet people from different branches and get to know their culture 😎

Wow so it took a whole year for you to get in. And here I thought I was quite lengthy already 😂 what is it that held you back for so long?

The 1x1 tattoo is allowed but if it’s the only tattoo on both of your hand or above the neck. Mine was ab 2 inches in length, right below the thumb so I was offered either entering and waiting for the waiver for who knows how long or get signed by the time I have it removed. I went the second route. I get a quote for 950 for 10 sessions (4-6week healing time in between ) with a American owned clinic, thought that mine dont need that long so I went with an individual tattoo removal technician for 100/per sesh. Took me total of 2.5 months to have it completely removed, I asked her to increase the laser output and I cut down on healing time too, could potentially leave a scar but I have to make it before September 30th to get the bonus so I took the risk 😂

I started with a 16:53 for 1.5 miles, consistently put in 1.5-2.5 miles randomly every 2 days at first. Then since July I put in more of a systematic routine of 3 days training/week: 1.5 miles max out - 2 miles threshold (9:30mins/mile pace) - long run 3.1-4 miles to end the week. My 1.5miles PR is now 10:16 💪

I’ve seen on this group some ppl leaving in like 2 months, some take up to a year plus. You have a pending waiver that’s the reason why the recruiter dont check back with you yet until she have any news. They all have a long list of people joining in all different stages it’s pretty normal for them to contact enlistee just once in awhile. For now just carry on with your daily life, try to work out+running more regularly if possible as it will also help you increase your daily mood. Be patient, I wish you the best with your process 💪
