On Friday February 8, My recruiter picked me up from my house at 5 o'clock in the morning to take me to the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) at Mountain View where I take my medical examination and swear in to the Navy . While we were in the car, my recruiter told me what to expect when I arrive there so I could be prepared. I arrived at MEPS at 6 o'clock and waited in line with many other people. When I got inside, I had to sign a few papers and make sure they are all correct. After, I took a hearing, physical, vision, and a urine test. It took very long to take the all tests because there where so many people. While I was waiting, I started a conversation with a few  people who were next to me to pass time. After the long wait, I got called up to pick a job in the navy and i choose the Advanced Electronics Computer Field. My ship date is July 16. After I've choose the job, I had to get my fingerprints done and wait again to swear in. And after I swore into the navy, I was finished with the processing. My recruiter was proud of me that I passed all the test and told me that I'm now a future sailor. All I have to do now is graduate. I got home at around 4 pm so the total hours I did was about 11.
