Just got back from MEPS, passed, enlist monday, ship the 12th, or the 5th if I'm lucky.
Semi sudden, but not really, one of my first 'Doing stuff' threads was about joining the service, back in the day, somone can probobly find it. I was on probation at the time and was looking at the Army, but decided I would use my time on probation to think it over, decided on the Marines, went to court and talked to my probation officer, went before the judge, got my case closed 2 months early. Bingo bango. Oorah.
