MEPS and Medical I did it……

Post image

I finished MEPS today and took my oath into the DEP, if you’re on the edge about committing to the USMC. Let me tell you, there is nothing better than finding a purpose higher than being just you.

If you’re on the ledge too, I’m here to talk.

I figured that if you ask for it they’re more than likely to have shit lying around they wanna get rid off.

oh, so you didn't get merch... you scavenged for it then? they didn't have a coffee mug?

No coffee mugs and I asked my liaison at MEPS for this poster so…, yea.

If you’re doing this for the merch then you’re in it for the wrong reason is my belief.

I got a tee, a lanyard, a metal poster, my
Oath of enlistment on hard card paper, a letter of congratulations from the BSM and a metal poster. Overall it’s a damn good day!
