More and more students are getting kicked out. We had a lil over 40 yesterday and now were down to 32. Don't know exactly what for, but I know some were within 90 days of redeploying and others didn't have their BN CDR Interview done. Also the mental eval is big, even though they have a shrink here they only deal with the Reserve people, if your active and don't have it they will send you back to your base to get it and you'll have to wait for another class date. But don't worry, the Division Chief says that once your selected for Recruiting duty you'll keep coming back here until you get it right, but who knows. There are about 5 or 6 people that this is their second time here, so maybe.
But today we reviewed chapters 1,2,3,5 of AR 601-210 and started into chapter 4. It's all about waivers and such, so there is alot of stuff. A lot has to do with types of criminal and civil convictions and how the Army sees them. I'm telling you, my head is about to explode with all this crap. It's like one section says one thing and another says something different, so when they throw a scenario at you in a practical excercise your going back and forth between all these sections trying to figure out if that person would be eligible. I mean it's not hard because it's in the book, but there are so many things to consider when figuring it out. Who would think a simple traffic violation could make someone not allowed to join? But thats all we really did today, no more briefings so far and it was all reading out of the book today. Tomorrow, who knows, I know we'll be finishing chapter 4.
