For full features; Go to 20 days left
20 days until I leave for basic training. I'll be gone for 9 weeks and
roughly 4 days. I won't have a computer during that time so, you guys
probably won't hear from me til Im done. Not like it's really a big deal,
but yeah. Just thought I'd let everyboy know. The day is coming. Much
faster than I expected.

Good luck, Kev! Don't worry, I'll keep things ticking over here...:doh:
Cliffy
Wow good luck man!

Good luck! the best advice I can give is to be like Forest Gump. Do exactly
what is asked of you, nothing more, nothing less. Basically try not to
think just act and you will do fine. And in the end the mental stress far
outweighs the physical. I learned things in boot camp that I apply to
challenges on almost a daily basis. And that was almost 19 years ago. USMC
combat engineer 90-93.

Well, today is the day. I may come back on here at some point today, but
it's not likely. I'll see you guys in 9-10 weeks. :thumbs:

Good luck!
Cliffy
Really wishing you luck. Not many people have the balls to go through with
something like that.
chris_knows
Most don't know, really, what they're doing. Of course maybe today there
is more of a heightened knowledge, but for the most part, they are
oblivious.

So much for that. I got disqualified for my security clearance I needed for
my job (Top Secret clearance was required). I don't know the details, but
now I had to re-sign up for a different MOS that won't require a clearance
PERIOD. Therfore, looks like I'll be hanging around until November 5th.
:cussing: :cussing: :cussing:
Not all bad though. I get to be with my wife and son for a while longer.
:thumbs:

or walk for a very long time. i have a bolt in my foot cuz i had flat

Sorry to hear that, Satty.
Security clearence can be a nightmare, especially high level clearence, as
you really do need to be whiter than white most of the time. Even things
you never thought would effect you, often do. Such as family members,
speeding tickets etc.
Cliffy
Im a black man in a white mans world though :laughing:
99integra
Very good, lol.
Which brings me on to another point....It seems that if you represent any
sort of minority group (in the UK at least), clearence wouldn't be an
issue...
*ducks*
Cliffy
Seems like it sometimes. Teggy, you aren't black.
Satty101
No. But he listens to Rap music, lol.
Cliffy
And Newports...and pot.
Satty101
Lol hush.

hey bub sorry to hear about the clearance thing, atleast they let you know
before you left. i had friends who we're stuck in training status for
months away from their family just to find out that the job they signed for
needed a higher clearance. but when you do the biggest piece of advice i
can give you is to make friends and kiss ass. as horrible as it sounds it's
the truth. my buddy and i went unnoticed the entire time untill
thanksgiving came around and got requested by a command chief ha. but in
all honesty it's 90% mental so you should be alright.
