hey, remember me? 
lately i've been neglecting the forums i'm a member to and figured it's about time i stopped in to see if this place hadn't crumbled into complete anarchy.
should be around more as i have plenty of free time..i've just spent it doing things other than posting on websites i guess. working out is something i've done plenty of, and hanging out with my parents a bunch. i'm currently living with them until i (FINALLY!) attend OCS. (which is in newport, RI instead of pensacola, FL like i thought for a while)
today i got a call from NRD Tampa and they said my final selection letter should be received by the end of the week..which means i'll know the date that i begin my 13 weeks of fun in newport. at least it will be warmer up there! should be late march at the earliest..probably sometime in april.
don't know if i posted any more info about the navy thing since my ancient post stating my plans for the future. anyway..since then, i've had the pleasure of going through MEPS...any former/currently active (do reserves get the privilege as well?) know how fun that is. also, i was selected for SWO (surface warfare officer)..so i'll get to spend plenty of time on a ship. sort of a mixed blessing in my opinion. i think it will be great to travel, but being out at sea a lot means i won't be able to resume keeping arachnids or reptiles for some time.
can still drink beer, play guitar, and burn my mouth off though!

Never did the MEPS thing either, straight off of the plane from Germany to Great Lakes boot... I think I missed out 
the whole ordeal began at 6:30 am and lasted till about 2:30 pm. i was the first person to leave too because i had already done the application process.
