This is a second hand review as I personally have only ever driven here to pick up my son near the…read morefront flag pole but haven't been inside. I think you'll find it helpful if your child will find themself here. I can remember the day like it was yesterday... a day like any other here in Sunny SoCal - my son, a sophomore college student who was majoring in Criminology/Criminal Justice told me when we were out on a hike that he wanted to take this path. Was I completely caught off guard? Yes! Did I give him a long drawn out speech about how when we start things, we finish them and he was absolutely not putting his college education on hold to detour down a different road? Yes! I told him, after he graduates he can explore this passion to serve our country and thought that was the end of it. Fast forward to this March when I check his location and find he's at a local US Army recruiting station and my heart falls out of my chest. As a single mother since he was 9 months old, this past year has been interesting to say the least. As a college graduate he knew he'd go the Officer route and began the prep and testing earlier in the year. He's been to MEPS a few times now. They typically put him up at the LAX Marriott, as a parent of a child who rarely if ever sleeps away from home unless it's at a best friends house this was a very new experience for the both of us. Rooms are shared at the hotel, meals are provided, and wake up seems to be around 230/3a, brekke at 345a, with a shuttle back to the center around 430a. My son was extremely determined to follow his next dream after graduation. He maxxed out on all tests written, physical (we're a fairly athletic family already so these things were no stretch), etc. and went in front of the local board this past October. I knew the week of December 5th would be a very exciting one for him. I also knew within ten days I'd have the end date to our Book 1 Chapter 22. My son received his acceptance call from his recruiter as told on Dec 9th (congrats to all accepted), he signed his 8 year 3yr 24month active duty contract and was sworn in 4 days later. I was not able to be in the building but they live stream these and I was able to watch it in that capacity. Things move extremely slow at MEPS, but food is provided and phones can be used from time to time for communication. My son noted many of the men and women here are very young (high school age). There are no words to express the amount of pride I have in him, the confidence I have in his leadership and admiration I have for his courage and bravery. He'll be at Fort Jackson and then at Fort Benning. So while I look up every yummy restaurant and fun spot in Columbia and Columbus, and pick out graduation dresses he is off on a very big and exciting journey to serve amongst the less than 1% (a category I do love us tackling but my marathons just can't quite compare to this on any level). I know my two grandfathers are smiling down, beaming with pride. I truly believe all men should be required to, as time has passed I see so many benefits to it. I don't like using the word "real man" but I really do feel like it takes a certain kind to go active duty and quite frankly out here in the West I don't think it's as common as in other states. I know our political party has nothing to really do with this and some are going strictly for the benefits, and even marrying for extra cash flow which is certainly a path. My son doesn't care much about the salary, his motive is service and acquiring the skills to better land a spot in the CIA or FBI by way of becoming a US Army Ranger serving in the 75th regiment. Reach for the stars baby! Columbia, SC here we come!!! Ok, maybe just me for graduation, yummy bites and weekend adventures. I refuse to be the crazy mom who does a short term rental near the base just to know I'm breathing the same air near him, unless.... I do that near Fort Benning ;) kidding kidding. Bring your patience when you are coming here, the days are long and things like fingerprints can take 5 hours to do in just a few minutes. Travel arrangements for ship dates are taken care of here but seem to be an all day process as well. Patience, patience, patience. Hurry up and wait is definitely accurate. Sending love to all of the families of our service men and women from a very new empty nester single Army Mom who is looking forward to being a resource to others in similar situations.

Where should I start? Hmmm…read more I have been an employee here for over two months now and words cannot explain how grateful and privileged I feel to work for this base. Not only privileged but also thankful to all airmen soldiers marines navy and every branch that I have met and served through the job I do here. Every single client has been more than welcoming and kind; words cannot describe how grateful I am to come in every single day to work. Veterans / Enlisted are the best people to talk to and they give you the best advice about the military. They happily share their experiences and pridefully (in a good way) discuss how passionate they are when it comes to defending our country. May God bless everyone of you who have taken the time to advice me, shared your stories and tips. I hope I could also serve you better every day and that way show you how appreciative I am of your service to this country! The base is very small compared to others. Has a Comissary, Exchange with small shops and food court. Food court: Starbucks Coffee, Burger King, Charley's Philly Steaks, and a teriyaki/ sushi place. There are vendors selling phone accessories, caps with embroidery done right there and then, purses and jewelry. They have a GNC, Barbershop, Furniture store, Watch repair and OF COURSE a Cleaners! A must have because every branch must wear their uniforms nice and crisp! And definitely need an alteration every now and then lol A clinic, gym, child daycare, gas station and their offices. Large parking lot.

I can tell you I have not felt the camaraderie and connection like I have inside the military. SFC Goodson and SFC Aldan have been great to work with during the recruiting process. Being prior service with a RE-1 made the process a lot quicker in my opinion. the team provided me with information I requested usually within the same hour but sometimes within the same day which is a great feeling for someone who is is re-enlisting into the military. Honestly the whole station is really chill and easy going. Everyone there seemed willing to answer any questions you have. If you are curious about enlisting or commissioning options for the Army, definitely give them the opportunity to hear about your story and see how they can best accommodate you.
