I called my wife from MEPS today and told her I would be home in a couple hours. When she asked why I was awfully tempted to just "I don't want to talk about it on the phone, I'll tell you when I get home" but I decided to tell the truth.
At MEPS I met another Candidate who is prior service Navy who is driving himself down to Ft. Benning. Since I am also prior service he asked me if I wanted to hitch a ride with him down there instead of waiting on the bus. After checking that it was alright with the Army liaison at MEPS I agreed. After the shipping briefing I asked the lady who gave the brief what time we need to report to the in-processing at Ft. Benning, and she told me because of the foul weather she had given us until midnight the following day. After double checking what she said was what I heard we decided to spend the night in our respective homes and leave in the afternoon. So I am now enjoying some family time, hot-wings and a cold beer.
I will know more about what goes on tomorrow when we arrive. I am very glad I didn't have to ride the bus since we would likely not arrive until 2100 tonight at the earliest.
