Military Enlistment Processing Station

Or MEPS as anyone in the military calls it. My sweet mother wrote about it.

I left at about 11 am on the 8th of december. I remember everytime I threw down my john handcock (about as much as when I bought my condo) I also had to write the date. Military style is different for instance today is 20081217. I scored very well on my ASVAB, (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) I scored a 71. That means that I did better than 71 percent of anyone that has ever taken it. Aparently thats really high. But I did get high mechanical scores, I was happy about it.

But there is a downside to it all. There were no tank crewman jobs open right now. They are checking everyday to see if one pops up. But right now my listed job is working on the GPS systems in trucks and ordinance.

I also went from long wavy black locks and a scruffy red beard to the standard Jarhead do. Thats a 2 on top and a 0 on the sides.

I'll post pictures as son as I can.

Right now i'm watching jarhead with my mom and stepdad. He was also a marine. After this we might watch Full metal jacket. I'm trying to get as much in as I can, as far as movies.

I love movies.

One day I will make them.

Have a good day!

First!!!!!!

On this day I start my blog.
On this day I will tell the world all the things they care not to know.
On this day I will... I will...
I forgot whats next...
My name Is David Nel Sevy.
I was named after my grandfather David Sevy, my fathers father.
My middle name Nel is my mothers maiden name, She is from South Africa! (that makes me "African American")
Last we checked "Sevy" is Jewish for "Sea war". And David is "God's Beloved". So I'm Gods favorite sea war.
Most people call me Dave, I adopted the common nickname near the end of my high school years.
I am just now getting out of a marriage that almost worked. I love Nicole with all my heart but there was just no way we could get along.
Thats what I get for getting married when I was 18. But now I know.
I have decided to join the United States Marine Corps, to the mixed reactions of my friends and family. My family and most of my friends support me. One of mah buddys, is anti war. He is begging me to do something else. As far as alot of the random people I talk to half about say that the Marines is the way to go, the other half say that I will be sorry. I call that second half, "The Pansies". I made deal with my dad to talk to everyone before I made a formal choice, the army Recruiter said I would do better in the Marines. My dad would rather I join the ch-Air Force. HE thinks I can learn after military skizzilz in the air force. MEh I say to this. I can still learn all those skills in the Marines.
Also if I can find two strapping young men to join me, I can get promoted.
I am going to be a Tanker.
This means that I will Learn how to drive and fix and load and fire and one day command an M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. Epic.
Also I will be taught ow to use all military firearms and ordinance. (frag grenades)
This is all for today, I will tell you all about me and my family next time.
