So this is absolutely insane. I have been lurking on this forum for a year and have enjoyed the information immensely but swore to myself not to post unless my son received an Appointment this year. Well...... My son received his email late April saying sorry you didn’t make the final cut type of message. Of course we were upset like many on here but had such a terrific back up plan. ROTC scholarship to University of Alabama and merit scholarship so it was going to be a great, free back up plan. He accepted by May 1st and plans were all being made. I put the Bama Bound sign in the yard Thursday so we were really official now. Fast forward to today. Graduation this morning and boys all lined up outside while parents were getting seated. Sons bored or whatever the reason decides to check his email and texts me last time before they walk into ceremony. Holy crap, Air Force email to check your portal. He got on thinking they were just removing all his info or something and he said he saw you have received an appointment!!! He sends me a text right before he walks into ceremony and I couldn’t hold back the tears of joy. Family all around me thinking someone just passed away or something. I whispered down the line family all playing old school telephone and tears were flowing. What a great graduation present. Anyway, my first post and I am beyond excited to become part f this great family.
