Post MEPS

I made it up to the hotel on Friday night, I drove myself, a luxury not offered when I enlisted back in 2000 for Active Duty or 1999 in the Reserves.  The hotel in Knoxville has changed, it is much nicer than the previous hotel, I won't go as far as to say which for OPSEC, but it was very comfortable.

On Saturday morning I followed the bus to the MEPS and processed through medical and security in about four or five hours.  I was out of there right at lunch time.  The whole experience was very smooth as we only had about fifteen of us there.  Normally this can take much longer.

My next step is the Physical Fitness Test followed by the Board Interview.  Almost there!

My weight was 216 and I needed 212, I taped at 18% body fat and I was allowed 22% so I'm good there...  I didn't think this would be too much of an issue...
