Just got big news. My son received his call this week and got an appointment! This has been a real roller coaster for us. We would have posted sooner but have all been spinning since we had resigned ourselves that the academy was not going to happen this year. Son is pumped! It is still sinking in for the rest of us. Hard to imagine only two weeks to get mentally prepared for R day. He will be fine- His mom and I are the ones I am worried about! Hopefully we can make it without our "allergies" bothering us when we drop him off.
I have been a silent follower on this thread for months and feel like I know so many of the posters. We are so fortunate that our son will share his experience with so many great individuals. All the candidates , both appointed and not, should be proud of all they have accomplished.
