So fucking pissed right now.

As it stands Im denied. My Gunny says that theres still things I can to get by.
Ive done all the paper work short of signing my contract and readging the oath.
Thankfully if I didnt remember my ss by heart before this I will now.

Tuesday I arrived at the post around 10am and waited to fill some papers out. Went to lunch met the other guy going from the post and then after lunch we headed to MEPS in Lansing.

Arrived, signed in, and then went to take ASVAB. I get any job I want thankfully because of my score so that was a plus. The negative was that I waited from 4pm till 7:45pm to go to the hotel. Some post arrived with a kid at 5:30 so we had to wait for them to finish testing. He failed. So ha.

Once at the hotel me and the about 3 other marines, 2 air force, and 2 navy guys all hooked up and played some texas holdem in one of the rooms we had.

Next day it was up bright and early for the day. 4:45am wake up and clean up. By 6am we were at the MEPS station again and into testing. Us 8 Marines got pulled aside and did our dead pulls. Then we moved back and did the other stuff.

Paper work, blood work, urine sample, and then lots of waiting. Followed by moving a seat and waiting. Then a physical.

Then more waiting. Then more.

Then being told I have to go for medical history.
FUCKING HELL!
I was pissed. I still am.
One fucking god damn blemish and its set me back big time. It hurts.

I got back into GR around 4pm and helped the other guy who I was with push around his truck. He was selling the one he has and buying a new one today. The only problem was that his current one has a flywheel problem and needed to be pulled/pushed to throw it into first and get it started. Ice doesnt help that. Thankfully about 5 army guys saw us and helped out. So thank you to them.

Tomorrow I need to look into getting an appointment with my doctor and getting retested for this whole medical thing. I dont want this to fail me.

I want to be a Marine.
I want to be a Marine.
I want to be a gd Marine!

Anyway...


Friday night is xmas party for work and saturday is poker night. Some time saturday afternoon I would like to get out and see that "the day the world stood still" movie.

Ive got to deal with papers regarding have had a physical back at the end of junior high saying I have decreased lung capacity and that I was prescribed an inhaler.

The facts are that after that physical I never used the dang thing and I have yet to ever even come close to having an attack like I have asthma. While their is a history of asthma in my family along my dads side it isnt an issue with me. Immediate family that does have the problem are my sister and father.
