Fonzie was probably upset too
The March 8 folks are gonna be p.o.'d that the Jan. 4 board is being bumped!!
Yes, I'm PO'd!!!!!!!! 
but hard to be too upset on the day you've learned that DD got a 4 Yr. AROTC Scholarship...
I never thought I'd say it, but...
Go Army! Beat Navy!
which brings me to a Joke.
A soldier goes into a Bar to watch the Army-Navy football game. He brings his trained cat with him. Bartender says "Hey, no pets in here" Soldier says --"Oh, this isn't an ordinary cat. Wait until you see what he does when Army scores against Navy."
Middle of the 2nd quarter, Army kicks a field goal. The cat jumps up, goes down the bar high fiving all the patrons.
The bartender is mightily impressed, and says "Hey, that's incredible. What does he do when Army scores a Touchdown?"
Soldier: "I don't know, I've only had him 3 years"

Noticed the views jumped a bit today...everyone trying to reference when the results released I'd bet. Oct, January and March are nothing alike this year. Wonder what next years boards will have in store, thank goodness I only have to do the military thing once(unless my youngest DD wants to remake Goldie Hawn's Private Benjamin
) Think I'm safe.

Ohio, you're about to lose your throne as the most viewed thread to the Class of 2015 Mail Stalkers Club!
I will gladly ceed the throne to Mail Stalkers -- those families survived SA appointment process, nothing but total respect for them
Still Great Encourager
She will not ever be overtaken as great encourager for those waiting and waiting and waiting!!

So I talked to my point of contact today and she said that they were posting the results from the march board right now (this was at like 1400 ET) and that she expected them to be available online tonight, but I have yet to see them. I've been checking my status at the following website: https://schlr4yr.usarmyrotc.com/scholarshipstatus/RetrieveStatus.asp
I have been looking in the right place, right?

I whole-heartedly second that!
You guys are too kind. I appreciate the support all you have offered and am honestly humbled that anything I've said or done on these forums has helped you all out too. My son has drug me along on this trip thru ROTC world - have learned a lot, felt alot and glad to have shared it with everyone involved. Kids takes us to places we never expected -- best trips we could have. Thanks for sharing ours and letting us share yours.
Take care.

You are one of the most positive and caring people I have communicated with, you have very lucky children to have such a supportive mom. I have no doubt they will all go on to do great things, the apple never falls far from the tree.
Even with such a frustrating process we have all been through, I think I will actually miss the conversations, just not the stress.

Buy some hair dye and try to let the stress go. I think in some ways not getting the scholarship has freed me and DS and given us back some sense of control in his college choice.
I will absolutely miss the conversations - on topic and off - with all of you. Cyber friendships are odd in they can be so personal and impersonal all at the same time. The process is so encompassing that we cannot help but be sucked into an almost other world like existance. I may not be around too much once I find a full-time job, but will always check in to see who might still be around, maybe continuing to support and encourage the 2016 kiddos or just to PM some of you.
Jcleppe, will look forward to the continued great comments and insights you share and Paradoxer, when you decide, if your gonna be coming thru Ohioland headed to college with DS, you have my contact information - would love to meet you in person. Anyone else, feel free to PM me if you ever want to find out my real name and continue to talk
Take care.
