I went in at 10:00 to do my medical exam, and it was the usual shit, non-invasive (kept my boxers on, no blood test). I had to pee in a cup, that was fun. The only issue he could find is that my pulse was pretty high, which might just be because I was nervous. Anyway...what are some good exercises to get your pulse to regulate? I imagine running would help? My vision isn't as great as I thought, but despite my tinnitus and taste in music, my hearing was good (or, good enough that they didn't mention it). I'm CV3, which means I'm pretty colorblind. I took both color vision tests, the first was a set of those cards with the colored circles and you have to identify the numbers. I didn't do so well on it. The second was a box with little caps with colors on them, and you had to organize them in order (second cap has to be most similar to first, third most similar to second, etc). I thought I did great on that, but apparently not.
Moving on...had the interview afterwards, about an hour and a quarter (started at 1:00PM). Pretty detailed, and unfortunately I can't really say what they asked, but a lot of the questions were behavioral. They informed me that the Army has only one position left in Comm Research, so it's possible I won't get it. But he said there were 14 or 19 positions for Comm Rsch in the Navy...which I'm seriously considering now. The uniforms are better, plenty of women (the attractive ones go Navy) and plenty of room for advancement.
They have an education program where they'd pay my tuition, cost of living, food, clothing, laptop, and a salary of about $30k/year, and a guaranteed summer job. Second year is $36k, third is $44k. Doesn't sound too bad.
Lots to think about, but either way no matter what I pick I should be starting my training at the end of January. :shocked:
