I enlisted in the Army on Sept 5th, 2001...that was an eventful week.

Me too! Conscript, first week. But different country. Still terrifying.

When you say enlisted. Was that the week you first went to MEPs or the week you arrived at basic?

If you don't mind me asking can you share some experiences from that time?
