MEPS

So I made an appointment for meps. ( military entrance processing station) its the place where I go to take my ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) the test that lets me pick a job by the scores I get and that lets me enlist for the military. The job I have chosen is AWR/AWS, I have no idea if I will get it yet, but im hoping I will. This job is a rescue swimmer/ working equipment on the helecopter. It will be hard and very physicaly demanding, but i am willing to work harder for this then I have ever worked before. Have you ever seen the Gardian? yup the school is just like that. With the help of God and my mom, i hope, I will be ready to take the exsit exam before I even get to the school. To graduate from the school I must be able to:

• 90 minutes of intensive calisthenics and 30-36 minute cross country runs daily


• 800m swim in 20 minutes wearing rescue swimmer equipment.


• 400m buddy tow wearing rescue swimmer equipment


• 200m swim in 50 min wearing wearing rescue swimmer equipment

So this will be hard, im not expecting it to be easy, but keep me in your prayers and just belive I can do it. This is my goal, Im working to save lives. Im working to be a rescue swimmer in the United States Navy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVf9Xd8d9XQ
