Ugh

So today I called my recruiter to ask her how we were going to get me shipped. I figured it was important, since I was shipping tomorrow!

Well, what should have been a relatively simple matter mushroomed into a huge ordeal. It turns out that the Sergeant I was dealing with hasn't ever shipped anyone, and she didn't know how, so she handed me off to a recruiter that had been around for awhile. When I called him however, he didn't answer his phone...for hours.

After calling him a bunch and not hearing any response I called the head of the RSP (Recruit Sustainment Program). He told me that the Sergeant was in a meeting all day, and was just getting free now. He also told me what I had to do.

I talked to the Sergeant, and we worked everything out. However, he called me back about an hour later and told me that I wasn't shipping tomorrow (Jan.5). It seems someone forgot to put me on the roster at MEPs, so I will be going on Wednesday, Jan.6.

My stress level is through the roof!

Hello!

Hello, and welcome to my blog! The words will be mine, but my girlfriend, Emma, will be updating it while I'm in basic. As an added bonus, Emma may every now and then post her thoughts, troubles, and anything else she wishes on here that is related to me being away for training.

What we are going to do is I will write her a letter, and then she will retype it on here for everyone to see. We both think that it will be a blast.

Once I'm in AIT, we will probably both update it, as I will have access to a computer.

I hope that you will enjoy this blog as much as we are going to enjoy making it!
