    Have a great day...I'm so glad you and DS have peace with his back up plan. I'm not quite there but I will be. DH and DS are more than at peace with him not being selected. DS has moved on. I'm still here. ;) Keeping everyone in my prayers today.

    Thank you Ohio....yes, the goal is to commission. My husband did. He was also SMP. He has had a great career. We love the military life. We do! 20 years and we are still at it. (29 years for DH) It's been hard explaing this to family. Things have changed in the world of ROTC. Even since...
