    I've been emailing with our ROO in the last couple of hours. He is just as anxious as we are to see offers come through...it's been pretty minimal for them so far. He did put us in touch with the National Guard contact at the college to start working on plan C (or is it D?). Not throwing in...

    Oh, Pima - you are so right on! We have talked pay, opportunities, etc. He is just soooo anxious to get his hands dirty! (in his words "blow stuff up") Doesn't help that the Reserve recruiter is lurking around either; the guy actually told him last week he was a 'golden egg' and they had...

    Welcome! Exciting that your DS has jumped in with both feet! It is something to be proud of. Ditto to Niko's mom's post - would love to hear where you are located and what college(s) DS will be heading to after AIT.

    Some days I feel like a nut job...the whole college process leaves my head spinning then add the ROTC scholarship process, it about pushes me over the edge. This forum has been my saving grace...providing a wealth of information as well as an outlet for my craziness:biggrin: Congrats to all...

    Ditto on overwhelmed and underprepared :smile: Surely some of the CC staff are parents and understand the craziness we are all going through??:confused:

    Yea patentesq! That is fantastic! It must be a huge sigh of relief to have one decision made. I am so proud of all of our sons and daughters for even considering the military path. I do not come from a military family, our son will be the first, and I feel blessed to have a young man with...

    Welcome Paul! Love seeing KU on your list; most of the posters here seem to be either East or West coast hopefuls, haven't seen any for KS. I just saw a new thread started by leapyear, says that DS status changed on DoDMerb. It made me curious, as I have not even tried the DoDMerb link for...

    @Ohioparent... just for fun - I'll take March 31st. Won't put $$ on it, need all we can for college - but surely it is worth putting a margarita on the line :biggrin:

    March 8th - here we are! DS is spending the day with a cadet at his #1 choice today. I am thinking it is Providence that it worked out to be the same day that the board is convening. :rolleyes:

    Thank you Bullet, and Pima! The wisdom and experience you both share is worth more than any of us can say. You totally validated the meaning of this forum. Thank you - thank you - thank you :smile:

    Checking in... we are here and waiting patiently (HA!) with the rest of you. Let's hope this board is smoother and more expedient than the last! Actually, whatever the outcome, SAF has been a great wealth of information and support. Let's see... Left handed, size 11, don't know what he...

    Damn the statement "You have been selected for an interview..." couldn't they mix it up, at least for my entertainment value?! I'll be here or on the next thread with you OhioParent, jlar316 and others still waiting. We fully hope to 'see' some of you others stick around, or at least check in...

    @Ohioparent... I am right there with you. My DS asked yesterday if I had heard anything and I simply said "No"...sort of a white lie. He doesn't logon here, so he won't know until I tell him. I am so happy for all those getting the status change message. I have already checked numerous...
