Making Final Preparations

So the apartment is cleaned out, I turn in the key tomorrow. I have nothing left except for the few bags of personal belongings that will be stored in my SUV during school. I have just a few more odds and ends items that need to be taken care of and then tomorrow afternoon, I'm off to Columbia. I have to pick up a few more thing on my packing list, other than that, I'm good to go.

Here's the plan, on Thursday, Jun 12, I report to Ft. Jackson MEPS at 0530 (yuck, I know). I get weighed (taped if needed), swear in, my orders, and then I drive down to Ft. Benning. I plan to report to Benning by 1800 (late enough to not have to process, early enough to get chow... lol). For the next couple days I will be inprocessing, just like a brand new joe. New uniforms, medical/dental checks, paperwork, and so forth. I'm guessing that I'll be at reception for a total of 4 days until I report to 11th IN HHC.

From what I'm told about HHC, there are several PT failures, Land Nav failures, honor violations, and security clearance glitches recycled candidates hanging out there until they figure out what to do with them. I should have some time to get my personal items together after duty hours. Once my class is formed, I'm probably going to be on lock down for a few weeks.

That's all for now, expect to hear more from me while I'm hanging out at reception. Lucky for me, I'll be one of the few females (if not the only one) inprocessing. Hmmm, smelly privates... can't wait.
