It's was the basement and they served a crazy amount of beers. I'm surprised they didn't go out of business. What recruiting office did you go to in florid? I went to the one in jacksonville
My convoluted story begins... Now.
Senior year of college, 1st semester. Started talks with recruiters. Called local office in Lakeland, was patched to Miami officer recruiter. Started doing all the applications, motivational statements LORs, waivers, etc. Was told that there were no MEPS, or ASTB-E, locations anywhere outside Miami. Was made to drive 6 hours to Miami. Woke up at 4am to go to MEPS, followed by ASTB right after. Took the exams and did meh.
Recruiter then held onto my package for whatever reasons for three months without submitting. So I transferred package to NRD San Francisco (father works out there, so I took advantage of the fact that someone actually invested in my future was there to help). Submitted the package for July boards and didn't make the cut.
Retook my exam, except this time I was made aware that I never needed to go to Miami, when I could have gone to Tampa for my testing. Resubmitted application with necessary additions out of San Francisco still.
... And now we are here.
Tldr; communication within districts is sometimes worse than between the districts.
