I know this sounds really mean, but I am loving this: He is finally realizing that not doing what he is supposed to do has consequences. I told him weeks ago to get a USAA account and get all the direct deposit information. He didn't get it until last week. I told him last week to contact his recruiter to make sure everything was OK. He didn't do it until yesterday. Seems they have to have an original bank signature on his DD (which is just bizarre, IMHO. I've never had to do it that way). He had to go to his local bank - thank goodness there was a branch near MEPS. Apparently the OTHER recruits knew about this because he and one other guy are the only ones staying in Atlanta another day.....he's not going until tomorrow. Which of course will get him singled out. He's not happy.
The funny thing is that he tried to argue with the AF about this. They didn't care. They control the picture on the television screen. Do not attempt to adjust your set. He is under their control :P
