I was slated to ship to Ft. Jackson, SC for basic training this Wednesday.  My recruiter called me at 0945 today and said "bad news; you're going today."  My response:

So, I guess they can do that.  Maybe I'll graduate two days early or something...

Good luck and Godspeed! I leave in May, quite  a qays off, I wasn't aware that they could change the date on you. But I guess 1 day isn't so bad (easy to say from here). Either way, thank you for your service and good luck!

Thanks for all the well-wishes, everybody.

He called again a little after noon, and said that it had changed again, so I'm not leaving until tomorrow.

I guess I'd better get used to this...

When I was in the service, we used to call this particular drill "hurry up and wait."

Seriously, good luck & Godspeed.

Well, I'm at the hotel now, leaving from MEPS for Ft. Jackson tomorrow.  I guess I'll see y'all in about ten weeks.

Thanks again, everybody.
