Today I swore into the United States Army after attending my MEPS physical. I scored a 91 on my ASVAB and came near to maxing out all of my sub-scores (GT,ST,etc). I'm enlisting for a 5 year active duty slot as an 89D (Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist). The position has been reserved for me and the only thing I'm waiting on is the go ahead to have my Top Secret clearance process commence, due to a ticket I received in Tennessee 2 years ago which they seem to not have record of. Fingers crossed for that, hoping everything goes very smoothly and I won't run into any issues. Ship out to basic in Fort Jackson, South Carolina for 9 weeks, then 39 weeks at AIT in Fort Lee, Virginia. EOD school has a 70% attrition rate from what I have heard but I believe I will be perfectly fine. Mandatory 2 year deployment in a foreign country afterwards doing my job. Private EOD/UXO companies pay upwards of $250k for trained ex-military EOD guys so I'll be looking forward to that afterwards.
I'm the one in the middle wearing the AMG shirt, my overall stance could definitely use work but hey, it was my first time of many to come.
Just thought I would share.
