My adventure to MEPS (part 2 - hurry up and wait)

The rest of processing was a lot of waiting.  After medical we sat downstairs waiting to talk to our career counselor.  I waited about 45 min to see him.  Once I met with him I wasn't in there for very long.  I had already reserved my MOS with my recruiter so we didn't need to go over any of that.  He wrote up my contract and I had to sign a few things.  If you hadn't picked a job before going to MEPS this is when you'd do it.  You'll find out what bonuses are offered, and where you'll be stationed for basic and AIT.  After this it was more waiting until I met with another person.  We went over my background check, she put my wife and kids into the system, and took my fingerprints.  After this, more waiting.  I went back to the career counselor and finalized my contract and got an ID card.  We waited a little longer to take our oath and then we were officially sworn in.  The day wasn't too long thanks to there being only seven of us.  We were done by about 1:30.
