lol penicillin aint nothing compared to the anthrax shot, that sucker hurts and you to get it 1 a year after the first year and like 4 times during the first year

its a 6 series shot, the once a year is the booster. 
You should make sure you they enter that shot information or you will get them again.  I ended up getting 2 more than I needed since they failed to enter the shot data.

Best was the lady giving the TB skin test. She was real nice, "if you squirt this back out at me.  I will do it again and make it hurt this time."  Hell she wasn't that gentle the first time.

Will there be an additional hearing test at basic?  Just wondering, that is if I pass this one.

You may or may not get a follow on exam while in basic, the one that you will take at the MEPS will be your baseline and used for comparison through your next few exams over the years ahead.

They give you a breathalyzer before you start on anything.  Also hope you don't mind peeing while someone watches you.

Good luck, keep it quiet for the few days prior and wear some plugs.  You should do fine.  Let me know how you did.

I can remember when I flew into Chicago, got on that bus to Great Lakes, pulled up to the Processing building and the driver just had to say it with a chuckle, "Last chance boys, your life changes after you get off this bus, stay on the bus if you change your mind", about that time the door opened and the DI boarded the bus, stood straight and proper and said "Welcome to RTC Great Lakes, I am DI so and so, You will only respond with No Sir, or Yes Sir, when I say, you will step off this bus and you will stand on the corresponding markings, Do you understand!,,, yes sir,,, I cant hear you,,, YES SIR! NOW GET OFF THIS ^%^&*ING BUS, MOVE MOVE MOVE.....  and it was on, your life was now being dictated by your someone else. 

Dont be discouraged, you will learn many lessons from your experience.  Enjoy it for what it is, and learn the lessons to be learned, your life and your buddies life will depend on it.

This sucks,   I was all set to go today, but when I called my recruiter up to find out what documents that I needed to take.   He told me that I could not go, because MEPS in AL had to send something to the MEPS in pittsburgh.   This really sucks, because I took the day off from work and tomorrow off too so I will be losing money on my paycheck.

Get used to it, the military if full of the "Hurry up and wait" mentality.  Call up your work and see if you can go in.
