Thank you, Dr. Mom. You and many people on this Board give special meaning to the word, "service."

ROTC. I'm sorry for letting anyone down. I had an opportunity at another good school I just could not pass up.

Just to let everyone see what I got, here's a pic of the Congressional Certificate. All names redacted I hope.

Ok, so I finally got some clarity. I was offered an appointment to USMAPS, not USMA. My Congressional citation is technically incorrect because it refers to an appointment to USMA. Rather than reporting to R-Day on June 27, I think I report for CCBT on July 11. Overall, I take this as good news...

Thanks for the good energy. Going to have to write something about this journey someday. Haven't heard back from anyone at USMA - probably due to holiday. Will update when I hear anything. Good luck to those prepping for R-day! Hope to join you.

Will do. Thanks! Talk about roller-coaster.

Let me correct a bit... I'm think this is either an elaborate prank (pulled off by one of my creative but somewhat demented friends) or a simple mistake by the MOC.

I guess you can ask anything, but no guarantee you will get a response!:p

DrMom is awesome. Thanks so much for the encouragement. And seeing others in the same proverbial boat also helps. Jacobko75 - if you have pulled 115 hr/week for 5 years towards this goal, I'm inclined to give you my spot if I am offered an appointment! That is some great dedication, which I...

Hope you get good news whenever it comes down!

I haven't noticed it yet, but I know all too well the constant checking of status. Two weeks ago on Friday, I checked into the portal and none of my official notifications were available (I had two prior letters, one of which was my 3Q letter back in December 2021). I thought something was about...

After much thinking about these matters most of this weekend and reading, re-reading and re-re-reading all the comments so far on this incident, I believe I acted rashly and pre-maturely to impugn the integrity and processes of WP as an institution. I am sorry I acted emotionally and jumped to a...

Putting yourself in a position where something like this could happen is wrong. Period. It does not matter if this is in connection with a SA or not. You can impugn me in any way you want, within whatever is considered legally permitted. But that's not going to change my opinion on this topic...
