I am now in the United States Air Force (user search)

Today I took my oath of enlistment into DEP (Delayed Entry Program) for the United States Air Force. I will ship out after my semester of college which ends May 20th. They have me down for June 1st.

I have to say, it was a long 36 hrs. After I went to my recruiter's office, the limo (I kid you not) took me to a 4-star hotel in downtown Cleveland. After making a 15-minute trip to the fitness room to lift a bit, I made my way to the cafeteria where I had a dinner of House salad and water (Had to avoid sugars and proteins). Then I returned to the room and woke up at 4:00am for the start of my day of taking my physical. I ate a breakfast of dry toast and water and then boarded a snazzy pimp-like shuttle which took me and over two-three dozen other enlistees over to the Military enlistment center.

Between 6am and 11am, I went through everything from eye tests to hearing tests to the "duck walk" tests and yes...even a "turn your head and cough". I passed my physical, went to the cafeteria to have lunch (Subway sandwiches and lots of goodies), then spent the afternoon certifying my entry into D.E.P. in the U.S. Air Force. After that, I took my oath of enlistment and was sworn in along with one other fellow Military guy who was heading into the Navy. I called my recruiter, got the debrief, and then the limo came and picked me up to return me home.

One thing I noticed, the difference between being a civilian and sworn in...they immediately began treating me as "one of them" rather than some "kid taking tests". It is quite a feeling. I even have an unofficial Air Force I.D.

Just thought I'd share this with ya.
