Story Time

The times I went to M.E.P.S in Minneapolis Minnesota. First of all, M.E.P.S stands for Military Entrance Processing Station, it is a building located in Fort Snelling that is used for the enlisting process in all armed forces branches of the military and is used for in processing for soldiers before they go to basic training. My day started off like any other getting up at 0700 and getting ready to go to school except today was special i got to leave at 10:30 which was towards the end of my favorite class, history with Mr. Distel. I got out of school and got in my car and drove to the St.Cloud recruiting office and parked my car. I got out of my car walked into the recruiting office and sat at my recruiters desk and waited for him to tell me what to do. Then I started on some paperwork to fill out and finished that then i talked to the first sergeant and confirmed I was ready for my enlistment. I boarded the shuttle and put my seat belt on and took the 2 hour trip down to the federal building. Once we got there we took off our shoes and backpacks and hats and belts and coats and put them on a conveyor belt and went through a metal detector. The after that I went in the elevator to the third floor and got off and went down the hallway to the entrance of M.E.P.S and opened the door and walked in and put my stuff in a locker and then signed in and went down the hall way to take the A.S.V.A.B test which I got a 69 on. Then after I finished that I waited from 4:30 until 7:30 at night to go to the hotel and once we got to the hotel I went to the common area for the military whatever. We then had a meeting and got the run down of what was going to happen and got our dinner and breakfast tickets and then went to dinner at 8:30 at night and was done by 9 went to my room and went to bed. I woke up at 4:30 to the phone ringing so I jumped up picked up the phone and put it back down got dressed cleaned up my room and went down to go get breakfast then after breakfast everybody lined up and we got on a bus and headed back to the federal building and we all lined up again outside of the building then walked in and went through security and went back up and lined up again and signed in then after that we all were given a folder of stuff we need to do for the day and I went into the medical area to do my medical and physical tests like blood, hearing, sight, piss, and  physical. After the physical i had only one thing left to do and that was the height weight and flexibility test i got on the scale and I weighed 3 pounds over the limit to get in so they measured my gut and i was under the limit for bmi but the guy measured to low on me so i was over and then i was done no swear in or enlistment I was pissed and sad I was looking forward for this day since i was a young kid and now it was over after that I went home .
