Well holy shit

So for those of you that know me, you all remember that I've been trying to get into the military for a very long time. If you don't remember, I had a bogus disqualification from enlistment because some other dude's paperwork got stapled to mine.

Well today, after working with a recruiter for a while, I went down to meps and did all my shit again, and the cmo basically said, "Hey, that's a huge fuckup," and rescinded my disqualification.

So, today after like two freakin' years of trying, I finally got in. I signed my contract and was sworn into the army today.

I ship to Fort Benning, Georgie, in 9 days. I am so fucking stoked, so I just had to make a thread.


I am going to go watch In the Army Now thirty times to get ready for basic training

    Nothing really happened with them, per se. I could have enlisted with the corps if I had wanted to, but after finding that the only recruiters who were really working to help me clear up the problem were army recruiters, that kind of sealed the deal.
