Shipping Out to the U.S. Army

Thu Jun 18, 2009, 2:42 PM
  • Listening to: "March, Op. 99" Prokofiev
  • Playing: Halo 3, XBox Live
  • Eating: Pizza Rolls
  • Drinking: Voltage Mountain Dew
So I finally signed all my contracts and swore in to the United States Army, and since Tuesday June 16, 2009, I have officially been a Corporal of the U.S. Army. I also found out when I ship out, which isn't till February 10, 2010, so I got a long 8 months. It's that late because the earliest date that they could find for saxophone classes (I'm doing the Army Band, just as a reminder) is on February 16, and I have to be there 6 days prior to the classes for other basic training stuff. I will be at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, and my basic combat training is for 9 weeks. And another plus side is that I got a $5,000 pay bonus for making it into the band as a high school graduate because literally 98% of the people who pass the audition are college level and professional players. Between now and when I ship out I have pre-basic combat training physical training stuff to do before I leave, but other than that, I have no idea what I'm gonna' do for 8 months. I'd get a job but our economy in Michigan is SO bad that no one is hiring here, literally. Maybe I'll just play Halo 3 on XBox Live all the time, lol. Well, anyway, I'm really excited for my ship date and once I ship out, I probably won't be posting on here anymore. So, every single one of you guys may not hear from me again, except for A-Dance-In-The-Rain (she's my sister). Well, it was a pleasure looking at/reading your art, guys...

I am officially a Corporal in the Army, my MOS being Saxophone Player for the Army. I ship out to basic combat training on February 10, 2010 for 9 weeks and I'll be stationed at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri; then I'll have 6 months of music school in Norfolk, Virginia, and after that I'll be deployed either somewhere in America or Germany, Tokyo, Korea, Vietnam, anywhere. Basically wherever there's a spot open for saxophone. So on February 10 and onwards, don't expect too much deviations from me.
