More delays?
JCC, I'm with you. DS said he is too busy to worry about it right now. This Thursday he has exams in two classes that are worth 25% each, so he was happy the first delay would avoid distractions. Next week they are prepping for FTX the weekend before Thanksgiving. That will cost him three days of researching and paper writing, Although he gets a couple days of study time back because they have to be on campus early the 29th to clean the football stadium after a Thanksgiving Friday game, and it's too far to drive home once again.
In addition to the Dec. commissioning cadets, I worry about how many will be forced Reserve/Guard who are not already planning for it...Their time with the University employment services nearby is rapidly diminishing. I know my DS has not had his heart into researching or setting up campus interviews, when his desire is AD for the next 4 (20!) years...Hopefully these delays result in fewer cadets put into this position.
I had not heard the Dec. date until I logged on...After four years of USAR and 2 1/2 of ROTC, I well know the rallying cry of the US Military: Hurry up and Wait!
