...and why I haven't posted while being delayed.
As a few of you may recall, I was supposed to leave for boot camp around October 26. The thread in which I had initiated a goodbyefest is here: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=42848
whelp, turns out I've had some problems with the paperwork again. Twice. So, instead of leaving for boot camp in the next two weeks- the next available date-I'm leaving around January, due to the fact that a 3 week stay in boot camp followed by a 6 week stay (because of Christmas Exodus)seems kindof non productive. But it will be fixed by January; we've (my parents and I) yelled at a whole bunch of people, and got a whole lot of influential people involved.
Keep in mind that these problems have nothing to do with the Army; the Military Enlistment Processing Station is controlled by the Department of Defence (which means that you can scare them shitless if you get a senator involved).
to sum it all up, I've decided to come out of lurking and be a participant for the next few months; you don't konw how often I've wanted to participate in a political thread.
One good thing: instead of going to one of the coldest boot camps, I'm now going to Relaxin' Jackson in South Carolina.
...that's all I have to say about that.
