I am saying theses things because based on what you say compared to what you do I dont think you are going to make it in the military.I was already in the delayed entry program for the USAF at the same point(17) in my life as you I was already putting my plans into action.

Yeah i did the same. I went into DEP,, at or about a full year before I graduated High school if i remember correctly. I had my MEPS departure date memorized. Still do iin fact. August 6th, 1992. Longest day of my life.

As ASVAB scores go, orignally i was going to join the army. I took the ASVAB, scored a 98 in mechanical, and had the AF recruiter calling me the VERY next day. I don't know how he convinced me to switch branch's but he did. As it turned out though, i ended up going into CE (both Red horse and Prime Beef), so in hindsight, probably not much of a difference had I joined the army instead.

Ahh the MEPS experience. I remember it well. Boy it sucked.
