Tears of happiness

I was scheduled to take my asvab today at 2.
My recruiter told me to come to his office at 9 am to sign some paperwork, because he was confident i would do well and he wanted me to go back to MEPS this friday.
I was so exhausted because i got home from work at 1 am and today was supposed to be my day off to sleep in! That didn't happen, i was up before 8 from the anticipation.
Im supposed to gain weight so i ate potatoes, ham and drank a shitload of water before i went to my recruiters office.
I weighed in at 116.8, 3 hours at the office and 2 trips to the bathroom and i was down to 115.8.
I went home went to the bathroom and i was on my way to MEPS about 2 hours before i was supposed to be there.

At 2 pm people started lining up to sign in and put the paper you get from your recruiter to request examination down on this black basket looking thing.
The finger print thing was a nightmare for me, it just wouldn't work for me and the guy at the desk was very mean about it. Call me stupid but this stupid arrow kept pointing to the upper left side, which i thought meant move my finger up and to the left, it also kept saying straighten your finger. I'm looking at the thing like wtf my finger can't get straighter than this! maybe my finger is nature crocked oh god!
The rude guy comes from behind the desk with all his frustration and turns my finger like the picture bellow. How does that make any sense? couldn't they have said put your finger diagonal?






How my finger was supposed to be ------>

Anyway after i left MEPS i pulled into another parking lot and called my recruiter to tell him my scores. I started freaking out because i saw a bunch of 50's and 60's so I'm like holy shit i failed.
He answered and i was like what am i looking for AFQT 80 i had passed and done better than 80% of the 20 year olds who took this. I shit you not i couldn't talk i was bawling, words cannot describe how happy i was. This is like a dream coming true, i studied so hard for this and i did it.

All i have to do is pass the physical on friday, which should be fine because i've never had any medical complications at all. thank god.

update

Not even a month later and I'm okay.
Time heals things and in the end it was the right thing to do, I'm happier now.

My precious green card finally arrived after 3 years of an emotions roller coaster wait.

Literally the day it arrived i emailed my local air force recruiter to set up an appointment and he set up an appointment for the following week.
I went to my appointment and since I'm not a citizen i don't qualify for more than 50 jobs and i think I'm exaggerating, there its probably less.
I don't care though. This is all i've ever wanted to do and the medical jobs don't require me to be a citizen so it works out for me, though it would be cool to do something with law enforcement but we'll see in the future.
Anyway i took the stupid practice asvab they give you at the recruiters office and i bombed it, scoring a 47 (better than the 39 i got when i was in high school haha)
The recruiter then told me about how i needed at least a 50 to enlist and that he recommended a 55 because if you flunk tech school for whatever reason, they'll give another shot at another job instead of just kicking you out.
Fair enough he told me to go home and study for 2 weeks so i did.
I studied so hard! focusing on math because thats my weakest area.
I texted my recruiter asking if i could come by after the 2 weeks had passed, he didn't reply but i showed up anyway and little did he know i would end up scoring a 73 this time around.
Now he was excited now he was going to take me seriously, because he would finally understand i want this really bad and I'm usually pretty good at getting what i want.
I was supposed to take the real asvab this past friday but his computer was failing and he was unable to schedule me.

EVERYTHING happens for a reason i was freaking out and i probably wouldn't have been as confident as i am now.
I bought the asvab cram plan on amazon. This book is great! though it only focuses on the AFQT subjects it does a great job at teaching you the basics. The best part is you learn and then do about 10 problems of practice to check your knowledge, which is what i love the most because its not just blah blah blah learn learn learn but to me practice makes me better.
We'll see how i do on the real thing though I'm almost halfway done with the book.
On monday ill give my recruiter a call to see when we can schedule my test for I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a 70 or above.



As for this website i found on many of my online practice asvab searches
 http://www.study-asvab.com/
Ive never been so disappointed i was looking for a site that would provide me which CAT-ASVAB like scenarios and at 39.99 i said what the heck it seems like a good deal and theres a 60 day money back guarantee so i have nothing to lose.
Nothing to lose my ass except for the 40 dollars i lost. Within minutes of being granted access with my purchase i see this is a scam, theres only 1 practice test and the "notes" are only 56 pages long with information i could have gotten off google dummed down! I email the company asking for a refund immediately and i still haven't gotten a reply. So I'm writing this to warn people because i looked for reviews before i made the purchase and i couldn't find any.
http://www.study-asvab.com/ ISNT WORTH 39.99
http://www.study-asvab.com/ ONLY HAS 1 CAT-ASVAB LIKE PRACTICE TEST
http://www.study-asvab.com/ DOESNT REPLY TO CUSTOMERS
http://www.study-asvab.com/ CONSUMER REVIEW

I hope my experience can save someone else those 39.99 because its not fair to scam people who's dreams depend on your product.
