Here's a good litmus test for you potential recruits: Do you really want to end up like the people who frequent gip?

So I'm sitting here in my hotel room looking over the folder my recruiters gave me to take to MEPS tomorrow to sign my contract. I noticed that the sheet that recommends me for OCS has the wrong GPA and credit hours, though it does say I earned my degree. It also doesn't have the date of my OCS board in the blank space for it. Will this cause me problems tomorrow or is everything uploaded and I should be fine?

It won't matter at MEPS. If that paper goes to the selection board though, you want it to be correct (or at least have errors in your favor).

If they're too low abort abort abort

Signed my 09S OCS contract today. At 130. Left a 4 because we had to wait for a single loving person. Don't understand why they don't just let people drive themselves to MEPS.

My recruiters thought I was high speed enough to let me drive myself to MEPS. This is just illustrates my retardation because it's like I drove myself to my own rape.

My dad drove me to MEPS. There's a photo of me with my winter coat on splayed out on the floor looking like I was about to walk into a camp fire. It was taken a few minutes before I left home for good. I look at it now and just laugh.

Thanks guys! I definitely don't plan on being an rear end in a top hat once I get my commission. I know that I have a lot to learn and I'd be a fool not to listen and learn from the enlisted and NCOs that will have actually been on deployments and been in the army for years by the time I get my commission. My ship date is January 13th and I'm really looking forward to next year.

That's nice of you to say, but those same NCOs are gonna be loving Joes, beating their wives, knocking up local slags, getting divorced, getting busted for drink driving, popping hot on drug tests, and generally making your life a living hell, because it's all your fault (army logic). Just try and save your abuse for the people that deserve (statistically you'll get more trouble per capita from those NCOs), and try to stop those exact same NCOs from dicking Joe, all in the name of "tradition" and "standards", when it's really just because they get a sado-masochistic boner from it.

We had two cadets trailing our PLs for a month this summer. They were both idiots, but whatever. Best advice I heard from the PL was "You've got an E7, and E6 promotable, and 3-4 staff sergeants to run this platoon, let them run it." All you do is send info down to the PSG and sign for poo poo. When you're a commander, send info down to 1SG and sign for a lot of poo poo.

What the hell does the CO of MEPS want to possibly know about my very limited drug use 15 years ago one month after I signed my contract. I'm positive I already talked to him about this crap once. (Weed around seven times)

It's possible that he is spot checking drug waivers to make sure applicants weren't coached to say they've used drugs less than what they actually did. Just make sure that your answers stay the same as what they were on the waiver and you'll be fine. Stick to your guns if they grill you a little bit and it should be pretty painless.
