God speed to all of you. Thank you for wanting to defend this great nation.
A couple of tips for the folks.
1. Contracted recipients will need their original birth certificate and SS card.
~~~~ Send a pre-paid addressed envelope for them to mail it back to you. Do one that can be tracked....i.e FedEX is my preferred method.
2. Visit your family doc and bring a CD-ROM with you. Ask them to download all of their medical records onto the rom.
~~~~ G forbid they need to visit urgent care or an ER, their medical history is there and they can just hand it over to them. Most kids that have medical allergies know they have an allergy, but can't remember is it penicillin or amoxycillin. Did they get pins for their break when they were 15 or 16?
3. They are now 18. Legal adult. Yes, still your child, but by military standards are no longer a minor. That open communication last yr between HQ XROTC may now be shut closed.
~~~~ All you can do now is be a sounding board. It is up to them now to find the time and fix it.
JMPO and the circular filing cabinet is there to throw my opinions away.
