This entry is just about my trip to Boston for my MEPS. I took it from a conversation I had online because I'm just to tired to fully type it out in full detail. well i got to the hotel and hung out with this kid and we walked around boston for a few hours then went back to the hotel and ate and then just chilled in our room...there were a bunch of security people outside our door...apparently that rapper daddy yankee was across the hall from us so we started making sound slike we were having sex...it was wicked funny. we went to bed at 11 woke up at 4...ate breakfast. i was billed for something from the mini bar but i didnt take anything from it (i couldnt open the fucking thing...i spend a whoel hour trying) but it was taken care of. we got to the MEPS building and waited around for a little bit....then i got my eyes examed...i have perfect vision but apparently im slightly color blind (i guess i have a hard time telling very faint colors of white and green apart) then i got my ears checked...i have better than perfect hearing...i got a blood sample... then i had the physical part of the physical...you dont wana know what happened... after that i watched a movie and then pissed in a cup...then stripped down to my boxers and headed to a room full of dudes in nothing but boxers and we did some things to test out ranges of motion in our bodies...after that i was done and i watched some movies and played pool...

So I recieved a letter in the mail today about my potential camp counselor job. Turns out they regret to inform me that the possition has been filled. Thats total bullshit! I'm so angry right now because I was really looking forward to spending my summer looking after little kids. Now I'm going to have to finda different job because I really dislike my current job at Babies R Us. That job is totally fucked, everyone is an asshole to you after you bend over backwards to find the shit they are looking for. I was thiking of applying at Dominos and doing deliveries. Looks like nothing will ever go the way I'd like it to, ever. Hopefully I don't get screwed with a seriosuly insane DS once i join the Army. One can only hope.

So next week I have to travel up to boston to get my physical to even see if i can qualify to be in the Army. I'm going to stay at a hotel near the airport friday night. I'm not sure if I'll be roomed with someone or not but I'm told my curfew is at ten so I guess I can chill out for a while while I'm there. I will have to wake up at 4 a.m. on Saturday and then go to where ever it is i have to go to get my physical. Apparently it is going to take all day, or at least a good amout of it. Before that though i have to visit my recruiter to go over some things about my medical history before we even go. Think of this as one big ass job application/interview. I'm really nervous yet very excited about it. Being a soldier is something I've always wanted, and as it comes closer to becoming a reality I can't help but be very nervous. I'm affraid I wont be good enough and that no one will like me and that I will never move up in rank. To be completely honest I'm not affraid to die or be shot at, although i must admit I would go into a spiral depression if i lsot a limb. Soldiering is something I have always wanted to do and I will see to it that i go through with it because it is an experience of a life time and I want stories to tell my kids and their kids in the years to come, I want my life to mean something, to me. There is one person I look up to, I have read his book. Jason hartley started an online blog about his deployment in Iraq. Although the Army made him take the site down for a while he still wrote about his experiences and he has sicne put the site back up. (www.JustAnotherSoldier.com) I am looking into doing something similar liek him. I have promised my mom that I'd start a journal (which I have, but not this one) but I feel that it would be much easier to have a small website that i can type out my experiences and feelings. If anyone has any information on where i can do such a thing could you let me know?

ok, so I had one of these things a while ago and i decided to start one up again so I can blog on what goes on before and during my military carreer. I'm fixing things up right now, nothing solid to say yet but there will be be in time.
