the main advise i have to everyone is research the MOS you want and know every inch of that job. they even wanted me to go MP simply because i was the first person they found that had that job right off the bat. if you know what you want and let them see your retermination they wont quit till you at least know what you need for the job.
good luck to everyone and i will post about MEPS when i get back on sat.

Well congradulations once again man.... you made it through step one.... I would prepare for the training, and look forward to the tactical end of it... from what I know of Ranger school in the states, its very tactical and interesting if you can hack the pace.... good luck man!!...
