Reserved Navy

As of September 22 I am officially in the Navy. The Navy Reserves to be exact. This is due to the fact that my deployment day is set for the ridiculously far away date of May 7th. So I am stuck working at Wal-mart for much longer than I would like. Thankfully there is some small hope of me getting shipped out sooner as I am on the list to fill in any drop outs. Meaning that I may get a call saying 'hey you are shipping out in two days, are you ready to go'.


The actual joining wasn't too bad. I got to stay in a mid end hotel in Dallas the night before and they fed us reasonably well. I guess that's to make up for the fact that I would be in the MEPS building for 16 hours the next day. Only a small part of that time was spent doing anything, the rest was spent just waiting and waiting.

ASVAB

I went and took my ASVAB today. Managed to score a 97% on my composite score set, meaning that now the military knows I am smart. I also scored high enough on the sub tests to get me into the nuclear program. So as long as they don't decide to make me take another test because of my lack of upper level maths I am set. 


I am still waiting on my high school transcript to get in. Not the one my dad got for me, but the official one that is mailed straight to the Navy office. Hopefully that will be in by Friday and I'll be able to swear in by some time next week. Aside from that I don't really have an official time line for when I get shipped off.
