What happens at your 2nd visit to MEPS to ship to BCT for active duty army?

I remember a lot of waiting, reviewing paperwork, receiving my airline ticket and meal ticket, then being shipped to the airport. I think there was another drug screening done, as well. The night before, you'll stay in a hotel, and there'll be quite a lot which goes on there, none of which has anything to do with the actual enlistment process. From there, you fly to whichever airport.. if you have time to use your meal ticket, you can get food there. If not, you're just plain out of luck. The bus driver may or may not give you time to smoke a last cigarette before you get on the (civilian charter) bus, and, from there, you'll be transported to the Adjutant General battalion at whichever post you're attending BCT or OSUT at - typically at some time past midnight. You'll have your first encounter with a Drill Sergeant, you'll be shaken down for any contraband, you'll do more paperwork, you'll be taken to CIIP to be issued one set of PT uniform to get you out of civilian clothes and tide you over until you get your full uniform issue, you'll get something to eat at the DFAC, then you'll get a couple hours to sleep.
