It feels so weird to be called a actual private of the armed services. I just got sworn in yesterday and knowing that I ain't just pretending is an awesome yet shocking feeling.
I was also wondering how may other service members were on here(both currently serving and retired) and what rank you all were/are.

I was in the army and national guard later. Got out as a specialist 5. Thank you so much for your service.

Navy the first round then Army got out as Sgt E 5. Grandson signed up and was sworn in this spring. He signed up for National Guard and likes it. Look for him to sign on for active duty soon.

Well sadly I won't be shipping off to basic till Oct 26th(But it is possible that will be going sooner). And I am in the Army National Guard, so I wouldn't be shipping off too soon anyways. I also just did my physical and everything at MEPS but it took an extra day for waivers to be fully cleared and in the system for the process to move forward for me. But I'm not complaining much, I got to stay at a hotel and be fed for free for another night.

Thank you for your service and good luck to you. I was in the Army Security Agency. That was a long time ago, lol. I served from 1965 to 1969.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

MEPS has changed completely since Vietnam(My grandpa served there), it's like you have to be perfect now to be eligible compared to then.
