MEPS Passed



The kid got back from MEPS and passed. Well done. He swears in next week and should ship out mid-June. I tell you, it's a big relief.


Probyn. Typical Irregular Cav

Of course this represents a pretty severe demotion from Cadet, DLC, to Private, USA. But humility's no bad thing, serve to lead, what?

In the meanwhile, respect to the young 'un. Don't give up is my advice.

Go Army,

LSP

Job well done!
A new adventure begins.

Of course I respect him, LSP!

I wish him well in all he does.

He's really going into Signals? If he's good at it, he may get the opportunity to do some Real Interesting Stuff.

Adrienne said...

Good for him (and you.)

RHT447 said...

Hooah! Go Army, indeed. Yes, a little humility is not a bad thing. If you don't learn to take orders, you'll never be able to give them.

Well Seasoned Fool said...

Good for him. Have they told him where he will do basic?

LL said...

Best of luck to the private!

Jules said...

Fabulous news. It will be the making of him!

Jim said...

Best of luck to him. Where's he taking basic, or does he know yet?

LSP said...

A big relief, Ed!

LSP said...

He's definitely Signals, drjim, but I forget the name of the unit -- they do "integrated comms across the battlespace" or something like that. Looked pretty neat and RIS.

LSP said...

Adrienne, it's been a bit of a journey...

LSP said...

Good call, RHT!

LSP said...

Should be 2 weeks after swearing in, WSF, but we'll see.

LSP said...

Yes indeed, LL! An adventure's about to begin.

LSP said...

He's excited, Jules.

LSP said...

He doesn't know yet, Jim. Fort Benning?

Brig said...

the journey to manhood begins, congrats to your young man!

Kid said...

Congratulations, and all the best for you both.

Old NFO said...

Illegitimi non carborundum! :-)

LindaG said...

Congratulations to him! God bless.

Theodore said...

Huzzah and Congrats!

drjim said...

Sounds like he'll be a "Combat IT" kinda guy.

Borepatch said...

This is a big step for him, and he'll likely look back on this a a sharp dividing line between his childhood and becoming a man.

Well done.

Borepatch said...

Well done to the lad!

LSP said...

Thanks, Brig, I'll pass that on!

LSP said...

Refreshingly good news, Kid, and thanks.

LSP said...

NFO, YES.

LSP said...

Thanks, Linda! Blessings to you.

LSP said...

Definitely a step in the right direction, TC. Btw, he shoots your 20 very well. Nice.

LSP said...

I think so, Jim. Not a bad place to be. Basic will be a shock. Heh.

LSP said...

Borepatch, I one hundred percent agree. And thanks for the plaudit!
