Out of Respect
Mongo, I respectfully disagree with "because you worked harder than the others. You are entitled to them". I could be very wrong; however, after reading the stats and posts from many of these, they have all workd hard. I think it would be unfair to say that one worked harder than another. Not not one of them are entitled to anything. Please note that I started with "respectfully". Tone in a post can at time sound poor.
I completely understand what your saying; however, the young adults that have applied and that have worked as hard or in some cases harder could get the impression that maybe they were not good enough and may not apply again. I'm certain there are a lot of very surprised kids out there that did and did not get the scholarship. I can tell you first hand that my DS recruiter was quite surprised at what he saw.
I'll say this, Csmeeks has recieved two wonderful offers and I have no doubt that he or she understands the value of the scholarship. Based on what Csmeeks has written this person fully understands that the hard work has yet to start and will do what ever it takes to get through. Csmeeks has the incentive to continue to work hard and achieve the goal of becoming a commissioned officer.
Keep charging hard Csmeeks, you will do quite well. I have a deep fond respect for what your doing. You have ethics, incentive outlooks, and optimism, these are three very powerful traits.
