The Longest Day

[musikbox83]

I just got home from MEPS. It's been a long long day and I'm operating on very little sleep. I went to LA yesterday. Went to MEPS to turn in some paperwork. We went to the hotel where it took two hours to check in because they didn't have everyone listed in the hotel. The army was shipping out for bootcamp. It was a long fucking wait. Get to my

Please tell me you are not going undesiganted. DO NOT DO THAT. You will be scrapping barnacles off the bottom of the ship. Make sure you have a job with an "A" school after. "A" school is where you learn your job. As for where you want to go. You'll end up in Norfolk...depending on your job. So you are coming in as an E-2 then? Sweet.
The military is Hurry up and Wait. It never goes away...gets used to it.
Hey wait you can't leave before I get home.

All they had left were mechanical and technical jobs. None of which sounded ineresting or what I wanted. I figured I'd be getting the shittiest jobs. I'll look into more of them. Ever single administrative job was filled up with no openings at all. I'd have to wait a full year and I can't stand to continue working my shitty low paying job for much longer. Unless I find people that want to join the navy, and EVERYONE in this area is anti-military, I'll have to start at the very bottom.

You will hate life if you go undesignated. Do you know how to bargan? They always have room because they need the numbers for recruiting. Tell them you won't leave until you get what you want. Be firm. It's your life, you make the choices.

Do you remeber that i was in band? I'm going to talk to my recruiter tomorrow about auditioning for the Navy band. Once upon a time I wanted to be a musician. I gave up on that dream but never forgot it. I think I'll give it a shot.

I'll miss you T_T. Now I have two friends in the Navy. Two friends abandoning me.. *sobs*

Only teasing... you guys do what you gotta do!

Oh Diana-San, dont go to Japan. Ill hate you. ^_^

Oh, also... I want to come down on the 1,2 and leave the 3rd. Is that ok? Just me and Kaitlynn. No Davy-chan.

Would you forever hate me if I flaked? I need to come up on Thursday and Friday of next week to tell my family of my plans. I'd come see you or you could come to Napa. I'd also like to see Julie and Kristen. I think it might be easier for me to come up so I could see everyone. I don't mean to be a flake. Plus I used up all my brownie points at work giving only three days notice for taking Monday and Tuesday off to go to MEPS. I'm chicken shit and don't want to ask for more days off. I have to help the stock people tomorrow and Friday 6am to 2pm to make up for my taking Monday and Tuesday off. I'm going to get shit for sleep and I can't complain about. ggrrrrrr.

[jeannbottle]

Nah, you can flake if you want. God knows I always do.

Just dont say that I never come to you!! *wink*

So what days are you coming up? I get Fri and Sat off. So Jul 1,2, I have off.

[musikbox83]

I have the 30th and the 1st off I believe. I'm going to talk to the recruiter tomorrow. I might try to push it past September. i was exhausted, hungry, stressed out from work, and major pmsing when i decided at the last minnute to leave sooner rather than later. Plus they were rushing us to just pick a job and swear in because they ran out of time and had to ask for an extension just to be able to talk to us. And also it will be really cold at boot camp. I'll have to think about it more.

And here you get stuck on Guam as an Storekeeper. I'm going to have to light a fire under your ass after reading alot of your hopes and dreams.
