Good news !! A week today for me..

On the security clearance it asks for the past 10 years of employment. Oh boy. My new jobs every two weeks in high have come back to haunt me.

My writing hand is sore  :facepalm:

 

[BigRed94]

Congrats all on the start of a very awesome career!

Just noticed this.. Thank you Leeworthy, I'm sure I can speak for all of us and say we're excited and nervous as hell lol!

Sadly I'm not sure which is felt more.. Haha

Haha, yeah... Me too. I have quite a few summer and in between courses jobs while I was in college, so lots to put down. Ah well... We'll only have to fill this paperwork out another 3-4 times between now and bmq.

Welcome aboard Rtry.. Someone else around my age! I just turned 21 myself.
Very excited as well for this whole journey..
If you wouldn't mind, myself as well as others I'm sure would love to hear how the enrolment ceremony goes.

Best of luck !

Howdy! Congrats and enjoy your swearing in. See you on the 16th.
All you young-un's, I feel old now.

Trying to buy/find everything on the kit list, getting more excited as the days roll by.

Enrolment is tomorrow! Then it'll feel real.

Yourself?

Pretty darn excited. I've got most of the things I need from the kit list, just a few odds and ends now. It's all sitting on my desk taunting me. Put my notice in at work, which I'm sort of regretting... my hours got cut down to nothing afterwards. And yeah... working out a ton and trying to mentally prep and plan things out for the next year or so.
I've been building up a budget and getting everything squared away for my husband since I'm the one that usually handles that all.

Come Thursday when I enroll, then it will probably sink in and it'll be a big "well then... " kind of moment. Have fun tomorrow at your enrollment! Let us know what platoon you're going to be on.

It was on the paperwork I got, but it should be on the posting message too. Something like BMQ 153...
