Post-swear

I’m officially property of good ol’ Uncle Sam.

The processing was terribly long, taking me about 8 hours total. My recruiter said I finished relatively quickly, considering people would be getting processed well into the night.

So… I leave March 1, heading to Fort Benning, Ga. Training should take roughly 14 weeks, getting me back in time to finalize any wedding plans & get some stuff in order.


Downtown for tests

Wow, it’s early. I’m about to head downtown for my blood work, physical, drug test, etc. My recruiter said it could take about 12 hours… which means a lot of paperwork.

Yesterday I took the ASVAB: the military’s aptitude test. I didn’t do as well as I did in high school, but I won’t have to worry about my job for the Guard.


Register, 2142

Today Ashleigh and I are registering at least once. We’ve… no, I’ve been procrastinating doing it for two weeks, and it really needs to get done. I still feel a bit overwhelmed.

This game still has me. I’m officially addicted, probably because I suck and foolishly think I can improve soon. Which I won’t.

8 days. 8 days until the Bears beat the Colts.
