I've been reading threads from all over the forum. Seeing the AFROTC EA slots announced, the SAs seem to be mailing out their BFE/TWE envelopes and NROTC updating their websites....the good news and bad news is awe inspiring. So many lives being changed with one decision that is the culmination of a lot of little decisions and plans over weeks, months and years of these young peoples lives. Not to mention us parents.
DS is off having fun - like a high school senior should on spring break - I'm sitting here terrified of the AROTC board results due out oh, whenever next couple of weeks. He has amazing opportunities in front of him either way, but hearing the heartache in the posts of those not getting good news lately, makes my own heart hurt for them and potentially my own DS. It will be what it is supposed to be, but I'd sell a limb or something else precious to me for him to see the "you may check your medical status...." AROTC portal update when it happens. NOT knowing is almost better than knowing its a no.
Thanks for letting me vent a little. Congradulations to any who read this who have received their great news. To those who didn't - don't take no for the final answer, chase the dream - your path may just be a little different.
You will climb over that wall, Ohio.
