I was supposed to be getting on the bus for the last trip to Miami MEPS, the morning I decided not to go. Decided I didn't want to devote 8 years of my life (Navy - nuke program) to the military. (wouldn't give it 8 seconds now, if I'm honest) I just didn't get on that bus. Simple as that. Sure, they weren't happy.. but if I recall, it didn't show up as a Dishonorable. Not sure if that has changed, since this was back around the time of Desert Storm.

Just think.. if they hadn't taken so long on my flat-feet waiver, I'd have possibly gone in. They gave me too long to think about it. Oh well.. there's a lot of things in my life that I'd do over knowing and feeling what I do now, but staying off that bus isn't one of them.
