[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 16089, member: 439"] sorry, no words of help, but since he's been in before, he knows that "hurry up and wait" mentality of the military. NF wound up sitting at Great Lakes for a month after graduating from Basic and going to A school. He was one of the top 6 in the Basic class, won the award from the USO, and came out a Basic an E3, but the Navy didn't have a problem with him cleaning the "ship" (barracks) for a month until they could send him to school. He was bored to tears. When he finally got to his ship, it was in dry dock. For almost a year. Again, instead of doing what he signed up to do, he spent his time painting, putting down non-skid, and doing his TDA (temporary duty assignment). He is FINALLY working on aircraft engines - a year and a half into his enlistment. [/QUOTE]
