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.
