| | details? certainly. MEPS which is where i had to go to take the ASVAB and pass the physical and all that. and MEPS is in new orleans. more accurately, in the ninth ward. im sure you know the name... there wernt very many of us. maybe 6 other marines and one army guy.we harrased the army guys so much. :) it was fun. anyway, we get up at 4 am and get outa the hotel (a nice 4 star one. wanna know where your tax $'s go? right there. :) we get to meps @ 6 and the first thing is sight and hearing. which i pass. no problems. the harder part was next. its a test called the ASVAB. it stands for Arsenal Service Vocational Apptitude Battery test. for as mean as that sounds, its justa souped up ACT. just alot of basic knowledge stuff. i scored a 74, and i needed a 32 to get into the marines. so, needless to say, i passed. and the higher the score, the more your elidgeable (idk how to spel) you are for pay raises, promotions and job selections. i scored high enough to do any job in the Corps. so that was cool... next was the physical. and it was a very physical physical. if you get my drift... passed with no problems. next was the mental health. they wanted to know if i had any traffic tickets, ever done drugs, problems with the law... i was fine so i was passed. it was pretty awesome... i was sworn in and became a marine of sorts... since i havnt graduated basic, im called a poolee. i leave for basic in Paris Island on june 18th. in the mean time i have to keep weekly contact with my recruter and work out every day. but thats about it... if there was something else, iv forgotten. :) bye! MY CRUST OLD NIPPLE!!! |
