Hi
Reading some of the most recent posts brings me to a question. I have been around the patch a time or two but from the post I read it could be a very real possibility that upon graduation from the academy there may not be a spot for my DS, what with all the mandated cutbacks and more officers staying in due to the job market.
How real is this possibility? Is there any chance that if he is doing good at the academy that he will not be allowed to graduate? All this talk concerns me as he has turned down some very fine universities to follow his dream of an academy education and career.
What is the likelihood that after graduation he may be told to just enter the reserves? All this talk about separations and such concerns me as I confess to not having much faith in my government following through on promises. I guess the old enlisted in me comes out.
Regards
John
