Ok, I would have posted this long ago but its Simon's fault that I couldnt. Him and his damn 2 post rule. hehehehe
Anyhow.... I decided to go to the armory today to have my Sargent weigh me and measure me. For those of you who dont know, for someone my height the military says that they can weigh no more than 208 pounds. Now, I am a big guy..... I weighed much more than that and there is no way, without a personal trainer (which I cant afford), that I would ever make 208 pounds.
The other option for me to enlist was that my body fat percentage has to be below a certain # which I was above by 6.343 percent. I dieted hard and went running every single day. It seems that in 2 weeks I dropped a little over 20 pounds and lost 4 inches off my waist. He measured me and I made it!!!!!!!!! I hit the minimum requirements and I am ready to go!
I have to report to Kansas City (or Topeka... I cant rmemeber but I will post it tommorow) on Thursday. I will have to go to m.e.p.s (military enrolement processing something.... I dont remember) on Friday at 4:30 to recieve a physical and answer hundereds of questions. I will be sworn in on Friday and I will be an official member of the United States Army National Guard (6 months later to be regular army).
I will find out on Friday when I get shipped out for Basic Training! I will keep you all informed.
I wanted to thank the many of you who showed me support and sent me messages of support in my quest to get into the military. I am on my way now. I will post pictures when I get back from meps on Friday assuming that I get my uniform issued to me then. I may have to wait until I get back from Basic which I will post nudie pics (in my boxers ladies... calm down) of myself to show off my new body.
Again, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
