Yes, my mistake, the OP did write that the Congressman called to say the DD received an appointment, not a nomination, my oversight. Only one cup of coffee when I posted. Lesson learned.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but unless the MOC gave a principal nomination, an appointment is not guaranteed at this stage. This is just one hurdle to jump over. Next hurdle is that the candidate must be confirmed as 3Q. Then a major hurdle is competing against others on their respective slate...

DD completed DODMERB in Oct of last year, wasn't until following mid-January that the DODMERB was received, and the portal showed it. They are understaffed and suffer from backlogs. Many people complain about them.

Our Supe should get approved, now. A nice Christmas present for her and the Brigade.
