I agree completely! My DS was a round 2 and I believe is so much better prepared on so many levels than he would've been had he received an appointment last year! Not to mention mother here, it'll be a little easier on us with him being gone this last year at the University only a couple...

Of course...he received an email. And it congratulated him. Then checked the portal and it was updated. His DoDmerb is from 2014, from his first time applying. He has to update one thing for them. It has been a happy day receiving this newsA long two years! (Actually 10 getting to this...
