DS#1 (AROTC, commissioned 2015, AD Sept 2016) is in a holding pen in Portsmouth, NH...on the way home via El Paso after 50 wks. in the ME. Fiance picking him up this evening. We'll see them tomorrow. She gets first dibbs. Our larder is filled with adult beverages and pork products.
He goes back at the end of next week for another 5-6 mos.
Likes his job and loves the responsibility/accountability. He is in the Signal Corps. Has confidence in and respect for both sides of his chain of command. Not loving some of the issues that plague all large bureaucratic organizations. Sometimes I hear them referred to as "Big Army". Better to get hit with that early in order to flatten the learning curve later.
He's blessed in a hundred different ways and I think he is finally beginning to understand that.
Best wishes to all, but especially the 2015 commissionees and their families.

I will add that one of my disappointments on our cross country trip last year was that we didn't hit an In n Out burger. I was hoping to do that, given the great reviews from some on these forums!
