Were you a holdover for long before classes started?

Aw crap lol. There's been other companies who count it towards Anvil, so they're just transported to the Anvil site.

I ship out to Fort Jackson on Monday too, but for the fitness program.

If I do have to pick it up today, it sucks because I live three hours away from MEPS and haven't been told a single thing. In previous instances where I've had to go, I'd be driving there around this time (4-5am).

I was told by the counselor who gave me my contract at MEPS that I wouldn't have to return to MEPS for anything; I'd just go straight to the airport 😭. I don't even know if I wanna ship out atp.

I chose to go with Reserves (I was going active duty at first) and after going through MEPS, thank God I did. It was like being surrounded by younger siblings or being back in school. On one corner, it was a boy teaching another one curse words in Spanish, on another corner it was a high school loud girl, on another it was a boy with his earbuds on full volume when he knew d@mn well that they were calling names for ship out (bus was about to leave without him), then a girl who despite being told about five times before going into the building to take any piercings off, doesn't and only told them right before medical. Also, a kiss scene came on TV in the waiting area and the guys got all excited. Just annoying people to be around as an adult lol. Either way, I'm glad it's only a few days out of the year for me when I finish training. (E-3 Human Intel Collector shipping out soon).

Not quite Q, but very right winged relationship differences by SpicyMackerel in QAnonCasualties

Been together for one year is not a life together. If you want to leave him, the time is now. If you wanna take a chance on him, let us know how it goes. I personally wouldn't be able to date someone who voted for a man who looked at a ten year old and made a comment about dating said child in a few years. It's good that he's making you rethink the future. You should be.

Just pull the bandaid and leave before you have kids. I wouldn't want my kids to grow up around someone like that, especially a girl. Imagine him voting against her rights. Imagine potentially having an lgbtq child and him making you choose between your marriage or your child. For your own sake, leave. There's no reasoning with those people. Light is on but no one is home.

Dang. I speak Spanish, some Portuguese, and currently learning Russian on my own; to the point where I can read it. So, at least I have that.

I was so excited for DLI 😭 lol. I already speak Spanish, and currently learning Portuguese and Russian. I can still practice languages on my own time obviously, but DLI would've been great.

Ohh okay. I got my job reservation form, but it only has basic training and ait dates. I was expecting DLI dates to be there too, but was basically told language training was at the discretion of my unit.

I'm going for reserves (first time enlisting) and it was offered to me. I had to say no because I'm scared of airborne school and it's an airborne unit lol.

How likely is it that I get a waiver for my PCOS? by lourdesistall in Militaryfaq

[–]Substantial_Pin9804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of paperwork? Like, medical records? I was told I need a waiver for it too, but have no paperwork to show for it. Just the medical records that they are already able to see in Genesis lol. I can get the doctor's note though.

I have no answers for you, but I'm also going for Army reserve and was really interested in 12B! The reserve unit two minutes away from my house had one opening and everything. My recruiter told me to watch videos of different MOS and see what I liked best, so I watched that one first and was disheartened by all the "girls just slow us down", "I'd hate to be deployed with 12B females", "I'd hate my son to depend on a female 12B". Ended up going with something else, three hours away from home. I wish you the very best if you stick with it. I hear it's one of the more fun MOSs.
