In 21 hours, I board the bus for Milwaukee, then the next morning, a plane to San Diego. Next time I come home, I'll be a Marine. Advice? Suggestions on what to do on my last day here, and anything else?

All good things for you! I'm glad you are finally where you've wanted to be for so long. Do take care. I'm sure your folks are very pleased.

Gunny doesn't know what he should do BEFORE he goes to boot camp, except don't get drunk or do drugs, they will do a piss test. They will keep you up all night and make you retake the ASVAB as well and count that one not the one at the recruiting center.

Anyone ever tell you that you're a completely fucking useless dick?

If not, consider it said.

Don't get drunk. TRUST ME on that one.

Sure I do. I went and saw the movie "The Final Countdown," ate a GOOD meal at the Alamo Cafe and went to bed early.

Then I screwed all that up the next day by getting blind-ass drunk in the Dallas airport during a 4 hour layover.

Are you kidding? That's just for Marines, I suppose? I didn't have to retake the ASVAB for AF.

By the time I shipped to basic, I had already been at MEPS choosing my AFSC (MOS) based on how I scored the ASVAB.

In a case like that, I could have possibly scored lower and and lost qualification for the AFSC I chose, and been forced to choose another going into basic.

I'm not quite sure what the point of making someone retake the ASVAB would be. It's more paperwork for someone first of all, which was always hated. And it potentially screws the recruit out of the job they were hoping to do going in, just for being a little tired from lack of sleep.

Seems pretty counter-productive to me, forcing recruits to possibly have to choose a new MOS.
