  9. Where to go after BOLC?

    teddy4987 replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    teddy4987 replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    teddy4987 replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    teddy4987 replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    It was a healthcare recruiter - I made sure of that when I started looking around to be a part of the military. As far as I know it was an official ceremony - we conducted it in front of the US flag...
