[Request] Joining the military this Sunday.

Ive been lurking this subreddit for a while, and the overall kindness of people is really heart warming. Heres my story. I'm a 21 year old college student and father. It's been my dream to join the military, specifcly the navy, since I was a kid. My older brother was in the navy and I've always looked up to him. I've been in the process of joing for over a year now, and this Monday is when I hopefully swear my aliagance. Last week I went to MEPS and did the whole physical evaluation. They found something weird with my nose and want me to come back Monday to have an ear, nose, and throat doctor have a second look. If alls clear I'll be placed on a delayed entry program, and hopefully be shipping out sometime next year. My request is, my recruiter is going to pick me up Sunday and drop me off at a hotel, the hyat in albaqurge. Last time I was there I had a roommate, and we stayed up shooting the breeze, playing ps3 and trying to calm our nerves. Since I've been to MEPS before, I feel like I know what to expect. But for this other guy they stick me with, he might be pretty woried. If we had a small pizza to split, I think it might make him feel more at home. So there's my request :) thanks for taking the time to read it.

edit briguy sent me a gift card for dominoes pizza, so I'm all set. Thanks a lot man! :)
