That's odd. My papers just got sent to meps today as well. And They told me I'll get sent to basic first week in January.

Dude, ive been waiting for 1 month already, I'm going insane. I just want to leave and fight; TBH.

Look at it this way, it just gives you an extra month to RUN and work your ass off to be in that much better shape. No matter how good of shape you think you are, Basic Training will make you think otherwise. I was the same way, i had to wait almost 4 months when i enlisted back in 03

thank god. i thought i was the only one going through this waiting period. been waiting for a month now.

Ive done basic before for the reserves. Quite honestly, I didn't think it was that hard rather then doing cool stuff. I think basic is 90% mental strengh IMO

Its all a game really, its the other people that make it harder on you, if you realize that everything they do is for a reason youll be ok. IDK i went through Leonard Wood in late spring early summer i got there and there was a foot of snow on the ground, graduated AIT and it was 105 lol just be prepared if you go there in winter youll freeze. Do you know where your doing basic at?

Relax, dude, enjoy your time with the family and have a good holiday. Believe me, you'll get yours, and you'll look back at how hooah you were to leave and get some with a whole 'nother perspective.

Why are you trying to leave ASAP?



I wanna get on with my life. I wanna start my career! I wanna start moving my footsteps in the right dierection. Im also sick of home.

That's odd. My papers just got sent to meps today as well. And They told me I'll get sent to basic first week in January.

Dude, ive been waiting for 1 month already, I'm going insane. I just want to leave and fight; TBH.

I know, ive been waiting now for a month as well and it sucks!!

Whatcha running away from? I'd be grateful to cherish time with my family if I were about to leave. But I do commend you for your tenacity and courage :beer:

Thank you :beer: As far as running away from? Im just sick of home man. All my buddies do is smoke bud and ride motox. None of them are doing anything with their lives and its jsut boring and I dont need that negative influence anymore. ASs far as family. Im spending all my time with my mother and father and grandparents and I love every moment of it.

Basic is a game. Its all a game to get you to listen to commands and to not hesitate cause when you hesitate in the field, it'll get you killed. It also teaches you to work as a team to get tasks completed. Im headed off to fort Benning in Georgia.

If you get a chance to, be sure to pop one extra terrorist for your brothers at home :beer::beer:





God speed!



Of course brotha! :beer: :beer:
