MEPS

As alot of you should know, i am planning on joining the navy, well i am one step closer. My recruiter had stopped by my house Wed. the 19 to have my wife sign some forms and she needed me to finish with the rest of the paper work. To my surprise, and this is 1130 am, she asks if i have my bags packed or if we will come back for them??????? Excuse me????????? You see, you have to stay in a hotel for the night so the next morning they can take you as a big group over to MEPS, Military Entrance Process Station, or something like that. Well anyway i was caught off guard didnt know i would be going so soon. So i throw some clothes in my bag and grab my laptop thinking i can write about what is going on in my blog. So i say good bye to my wife and son. Its only 1 day. No biggie. We finish the paper work, and she gets me and another enlistee to the hotel at like 630-700. Well i get to the hotel and i find out all the rules, you have to be in your room by 10 pm. You are not allowed outside your room after 10. No females on second floor, which is the guys floor, and your wake up call is at 5, breakfast at 530, bus at 6. ok, i try and go to sleep at 10, nope. I was up practically all night, i wasnt use to sleeping by my self, no kid kicking you. No wife wanting to cuddle. So i maybe got like 1 hour a sleep the whole night. I dont want to go into extreme detail about meps, but it was alot of waiting. It is really just a prescreening to verify your health. Had a FULL physical. Oh but i failed my depth perception, i am like what. i have 20/20 vision. I almost failed my pulse. He took my BP and my pulse was well over 100, 4 trys and 8 minutes latr my pulse went down to an acceptable 100 something, like 102 i think. But i left there like 430 thurs. and got back to my wife at 5. I will be going back again, fun fun, to talk to a classifier but i will still have to get a partial physical, everytime you go there you are getting checked. turn and cough. Well my brain is fried. Have a nice week all.
