From the time I enlisted to the time I leave for Boot Camp I'm a part of the DEP (Delayed Entry Program). That has required me to check-in with my recruiter every Monday, and attend meetings every second Wednesday of the month. I always seem to remember to check in last minute. Anyway, another part of the DEP is to start studying for Boot Camp - memorizing the Sailors Creed, RTC Maxim, and the 11 General Orders of a Sentry. As I lie in bed tonight trying to get to sleep I remember that I need to have my 11 General Orders memorized by tomorrow night's meeting. UGH!!! Well at least I've got half of them memorized. I guess I'll be working on the other half tomorrow.
I've also been watching more videos on Boot Camp and I wanted to share a couple with you in case you were interested and had some time to waste. It will give you an idea of what I'll be doing for the next couple months. I hope it's as easy as the video portrays. Somehow I doubt it.

After 2 months in Boot Camp (which takes place about an hour north of Chicago) I'll head down to San Antonio, TX for about 3 months for my Hospital Corpsman training which will teach me all the medicine I need to know. After that I'll be going to either Camp Pendleton in California, or Camp Lejeune in North Carolina for FMTS (Field Medical Training School). I've included a link to a video on that too. This is what I'm most excited for. **Mom... Don't watch** lol.

Alright, I better sign off and start some memorizing.
