And I've been trying to think of follow up questions that have popped in my head over the last week, and they've all escaped me. But honestly, this whole thing makes my head spin. It's like they make you learn another language before you join, and the paperwork involved in what sounds to be.. EVERYTHING.. is enough to make me want to puke. I just can't wrap my brain around the whole Army World... anyone else feel this way in the beginning? Does it get better? Any tips on how to cope and learn it all?

Sorry I forgot I was on the nest.. I normally post over on Military Families on thebump. But if you can help nonetheless I'd appreciate it!!

Honestly, I didn't think it was that much paperwork when my husband joined. The only hard part was listing where he had lived because his father was military and they moved around a lot. Just don't think about EVERYTHING that needs to get done. Just take it one step at a time. And breathe.

This. Just take it a step at a time. Its like doing anything new, its difficult at first but then it gets easier.

I agree with the previous posts just take it one step at a time you will get the hang of it. Also, join the Future Soldier Center page on Facebook they can be really helpful if you get confused.

Ditto. DH was a recent college grad when he did his. That was seriously the hardest part trying to get all the right address and contact information. There were other things that took some doing, such as getting medical records and letters and things done.
