But if you’re reading this, you’ve probably heard this before recently. Updates on that theme:
1. I passed the board on Tuesday with no complications; I am now approved to go on to OCS and become an officer. Thank you all for your letters of reference; let me know if you get any calls, eh?
2. My shipping date is July 23, and it is estimated that the entire Basic Training experience will take 10 weeks. I say “estimated” because Basic Training, which we know takes 9 weeks, is preceded by Reception, which is estimated to take 1 week. Inoculations, uniform issue, organization into units, etc., take place during Reception I understand. Also, I’ll find out my shipping address for while I happen to be in Basic Training, and I figure I’ll write everybody so they know where to write back.
3. All the guys going to OCS like I am that I saw in the waiting room on Tuesday are all shipping the same day, to the same place, Ft. Jackson, with me. Then we’ll all see each other again in OCS, again on the same schedule. What fun! So I’ve already chatted with some people that I’ll be seeing for the next several months. I’ve got a good feeling about most of the other OCS guys.
4. I’ve got a good feeling about most people I’ve encountered at the MEPS processing station in Tampa, a place I’ve spent a great deal of time in now.
5. I’ve put in an order for custom arch supports. Expensive, but worthwhile I think.
6. Counting down the days to July 23. 
So I apparently never know or else forget all things. Anyways, good luck and have fun!
