So MEPS

[Deleted]

Hahahaha. I can hear it now:

Who invited their mom to MEPs?

At least she's a MILF!

[softspot]

How are you feeling?

Funnily enough Lemon, someone here knows my mom!

SS, I feel old. And like I've been out of school for like a hundred years. On the bright side, we are at a nice hotel, I cranked out a couple miles, and some Navy dude was talking about how he curses in front of his grandmother and uses the Eff A Gee word, and his grandmother complains about it. And then he said the aforementioned word like six times. I said something to him which I feel will amuse you.

It took me far too long to figure this out. I kept thinking "effigy? Why is that a bad word?"

I'm slow.

I was thinking the same damn thing.

I would have gone off on him. Unfortunately, depending on the office he's in, that's "appropriate" language at work.

There was a time when I would do work in H's office. He was super short staffed, and it was basically some database and spreadsheet design that he needed, and no one else knew how to do it. So I'd work in the office, at my own little computer, and listen to people saying that, often, to rag on each other. Dude, I'm your boss' wife. Do you really think it's not going to get back to him how inappropriate your language is? You can drop f-bombs around me all day long, and I won't care, but leave the slurs at home.

I must be really old because I still haven't figured out what "Eff a Gee" means.
I was 25 when I went to MEPS. I felt like a grandma. When I got to Basic, I was older than half my Drill Sergeants and everyone called me Mamma.
Good luck with everything.

Took me a hot minute to figure it out. Spell out the letters it sounds like; it's a word.

Derogatory term for a gay man.

It took me a long time to figure it out too. I kept saying the A as "uh" instead of "ay."

Just hearing the word MEPS again makes me cringe. I do not miss H being on recruiting duty at all.

He isn't in the Navy yet. He wants nukes. Good luck with one of the longest worst schools ever nihilist boy!

Hahaha Ahhhhh hahaha Ha.

Sorry. Dh works with like 80 nukes all day so I know the breed. That guy, if he makes it through school, is going to be the one whose stuff get stolen and returned to him only with male genitalia drawn on it in permanent marker.

1) They were hardcore. Every little teeny scar was dissected. Some girl had cut a shape into her arm when she was 14 and she has to go get a psych eval. She was wigging out, pacing and she was knocking her head against a wall.

Sounds like the psych eval was warranted!

4) I got a 99 on the ASVAB/140GT! It doesn't matter to or help me with my O package, but it means I haven't gotten dumber since I was 16, which is exciting. I was really afraid I had. But, I beat my old score (and the weird guy's) by 2 points and my GT only fell by 1 point. Since I haven't taken most of the classes pertinent to line scores since HS, I'm feeling so great!

Congrats! That is awesome! I'm laughing out loud about your roommate talking about your age on the phone. haha

[krista]

I was 27 when I went to MEPS. I'm sure I was the oldest person there, but I don't remember anyone else. I do remember being shocked when they handed me a breathalyzer at 6:00 in the morning. I think I said something like, "Are you serious??" The guy said, "you'd be surprised." Apparently I was pretty naive.

[kcd0531]

Go, Stan! That is definitely a call to toot your own horn. And LoL@18 y.o. roommate talking about your age.

KNY, They taunted the overage people with the bar, lol. And I know for a fact some of the kids (SEAL boy) were up partying. I was in bed by 9, for the 0330 wake-up. As is appropriate for my advanced age.
