DD received her packet this past Tuesday.
Frankly, the material was photo-copied and the certificate was ... well, so-so.
With the exception of the certificate it was same exact material that was emailed to her.
I do not know what I expected, but I saw more effort, pomp-circumstance extended to my son when he graduated from MCRD SD.
VMI enclosed their acceptance certificate in a red leather folder - classy touch. I guess I expected similar from the Corps.
That said, we are in austere times and she cares more for the scholarship and pathway to earning the 'Title' than she does the 'wrapper.' The disappointment is on my part as an 'Old Corps' kinda guy.
so you can benchmark other response times here are other items & when received:
- DoDMETS/Concorde letter arrived last week.
- DD also received welcome call from Senior NCO at VMI welcoming her aboard last week.
I hope this info is helpful.
