Thus far its helping me to simply NOT think about it, no matter what ya do the clock keeps tickin at the same pace so June 25th will get here when it gets here... :wink: Livin it up while I still can, I would reccomend the same for everyone...

A family line ehh? Glad to hear it, and see you in 43 days!!! :wink:

I turned down a NROTC scholarship a couple weeks ago and I just faxed in my rejection of my AFROTC scholarship, although I first thought to look out for myself, it is clearly stated in the appointee booklet to turn down all ROTC scholarships right away... I feel that now it has come form an...

No problem, only a little while longer bud... :thumb:

Haha nothing wrong with doin that... Whatever you choose bud... :wink:

Dont forget you get to buy your boots at orientation and have a chance to break them in which is highly encouraged, it also allows you to set up your bank account and any other little things before I-Day... I assume youve never visited either?

Orientation is actually two days in April, and there are 3 sessions... April 14-15, 21-22, and 28-29... You basically go through a lot of seminars and speeches the first day and at about 4:00 PM, your parents leave you and you are assigned a cadet escort, you stay overnight in the dorms and...
