First off congratulations on earning your scholarship, your hard work has paid off. Take the weekend and enjoy yourself. (But not too much ) You are about to embark on a great journey. Keep on mind this is a marathon, not a sprint. Getting invited to this party is much easier than staying for the end. For many of you DoDMERB will be your next hurdle. If you anticipate an issue start gathering medical records to help with any remedials or waivers. Stay focused on what brought you here.
