    i leave to fort sill tommorow...
    UPDATE: i graduated from fort sill and now im at fort sam houston for 68W school
    FURTHER UPDATE (for those still commenting): i graduated 68W school and now im at fort benning with an infantry unit. For those of you leaving to basic training the best advice i can give is have fun and make memories, dont stress it, as long as you got heart youll make it.

    I spoke to the recruiter today for the first time and in June I sign the papers for the Army and then get the date for MEPS. I went today to speak to the Air Force not the Army I wasn’t even considering it and it all happened so fast that we ended up in the Army recruitment office. I am now watching so many videos pertaining to BCT, and tips for females. Thank you for posting this! :)

      yes! I have a list of specialties that I made with my recruiter, primarily specialties in Signal Corps and Military Intel, which are all in my background. Thankfully my ASVAB score was pretty high, so no pressure on my end :)

    Army and Navy Boot Camp is 7 weeks. The Air Force is 8-1/2 weeks and the Marines 13 weeks. At least the Marines refines their candidate before deploying them. It was not long ago when all of the armed forces basic training was 13 weeks. Is this a financial issue?
