As we have always told our children : God has planned the path their lives will take from the time they were a twinkle in our eyes. We may not understand why but it's not in his plans for now.
Yes, My4USMC.
TWE here in MA-03. DS said, "At least the application process was a good experience." Making sense out of a "no". But I think he's right, and it's so much more than that; I just can't articulate it at the moment. Things that make us grow usually hurt.
I, personally, am at peace - I know this is God's will for DS, whatever the future holds, reapplication or not. He does have Plan C in place (AROTC schol, possibly requesting transfer, but ok with current designated school), and is waiting on Plan B (NROTC Marine Option), which will come soon one way or the other.
You all are such lovely, good people, and it truly is encouraging to know that all these tremendously accomplished young people are so desperate to serve our country in such a noble way. God bless them, they are going to be great! And God bless all of you for sharing a bit of yourselves on this unique journey; it has been an enormous comfort!
Will still be around, probably more on the ROTC threads, but will be checking in - the best, best, best of luck to everyone still on the island. I hope it rains BFE's from now on!!!!
