Hey all, new guy here. I just reserved an 11x option 4 contract two days ago and attend my MEPS physical/swear in this coming friday. My ultimate goal is to make it to the 75th, but may have to wait until AIT or re-up with an option 40 in order to accomplish this (student loans). I am 29 years old and am reordering my life priorities; I am joining to get my life together after a long career that broke even and a divorce. I saw this site in many of my searches this past year for information; I figured that I should become a member here given how close I am now to being a service-member of the military.
