Leaving For BCT Monday Well I'll be going back to MEPS Monday afternoon and ship to Ft. Jackson(I know I know) Tuesday. Any last minute tips/advice? I've been running a lot and can already pass the push ups and sit ups for the 2-2-2 PT test.

I learned it at MEPS when I signed my contract. I signed 12/20 and ship out next week so it wasn't even a 3 month wait to leave after signing.

Nice, I was back and forth on the Army and Air Force but went with the AF in the end but sometimes I think I should have went with the Army for the faster ship date to basic compared to a longer wait (most the time) with the AF. Anyways, congrats man what MOS did you go with?

Thanks. I'll be a 15W UAV operator something the AF only lets Officers do
I looked into the AF first but didn't like the lack of jobs I could get as an enlisted soldier. If I could've signed with the AF for the job and ship date I have, I might have signed with the AF. I'm going to apply for Warrant Officer Flight Training in a couple years which would be another thing the AF doesn't do. I'm happy with my choice and wish you all the luck in the world with your career.

I 'll try lol. Another guy from my recruiting station leaves next Sunday so I may bump into him there. It would've been cool if he went with me.
