Delayed Entry Program

so it has been a long while since i updated. i have been busy busy and didn't feel like writing about what i have done so far. i went to MEPS again two more times

February 14th

i was put in the hotel. ate dinner talked to a few recruits then took a shower and went to sleep.

February 15th

woke up at 4am ate breakfast arrived at MEPS around 5am. checked in and waiting for the navy recruiting area to call me so i could look for a job. well since it wasn't January anymore i lost my chance at HM - Hospital Corpsman... since my medical papers took to long to get in, the job was no longer open for shipping out in February and the next opening was in August... i wanted to leave as soon as possible so i was willing to take any other job. So i picked IS - Intelligence Specialist but they had to do a background check and by the time i was good the job was no longer open for leaving in April and the next opening was in October.... ok so now i had to pick another job but they ran out of time and i had to come back tomorrow. I went back to the hotel ate,played games,took a shower and went to sleep at 9pm.

February 16th

i woke up at 4am ate breakfast same thing , arrived to MEPS at 5am. Checked in and waited for the navy recruiting area to call me down to select a job. They made sure to get me first so around 9am or so i got to look a jobs again. I kept telling the person that i wanted to leave as soon as possible so ill take any job that can leave in February,March, or April. there were no openings for February.... well there were but only for Reserves and i wanted to go Active Duty.

So the person is looking and looking through people that failed to get in for some reason to try to get me their spot to leave soon. but no luck.... I was then asked if i wanted to be a CS and i was like what is a CS? CS - Culinary Specialist so basically a cook. at first in my head i was like "hmmm i scored high on my asvab and that is the only job available to leave by April?" since everything else i was qualified for wasn't leaving till August-December i decided to just take the job... i was tired of waiting and wanted to go to boot camp already. so the person calls some place and asks if the job is still open for April and the guy on the phone says no it is not available.... but there is an opening in March. I was like oh even better haha so i signed some papers and took another piss test and then more papers to sign ect. got briefed in a briefing room after that i got sworn in and i ship out on March 24th to Great Lakes Chicago! Later my recruiters then asked me if i really really wanted that job because 4 other people wanted that job and ship date... so if i didn't want it i should look for another job. I kept the job. hehe

February 22nd

i am now in the Delayed Entry Program, i have to learn a lot of things that are important to the navy and its history. I went to my recruiters and signed more papers. took another piss test lol ahh so many piss tests. well after reading about how the navy is zero tolerance for drug use i had to take a test it wasn't hard at all since it was just a read this and answer this.

February 23rd

i got a call from my recruiter to learn the Eleven General Orders of a Sentry word for word by Tuesday. i have only memorized the first 2 so far ahhh its so hard trying to remember this but everyone else has been able to do it before me so it should come in time.
