JROTC Follow Up --> I'm Certified

Fellow Warriors, a short follow up to a previous post...

I'm in!  Well, at least the door has been opened to me.  About two weeks after the review board met, I sent an email to the home office asking when the results would be available.  I was told 14 to 21 days.  So I gave it some time, in hopes a letter would soon follow.  One month after the board, and still no letter, I sent another email.  The response was that I have been "certified"!

God said to Evan Almighty, "If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?"  Well, I am certainly making very good use of this opportunity to practice my patience; still no letter!

What does the certification letter mean?  It does NOT mean that I have a job!  It only means that I can officially apply to those schools who support a JROTC program from my service.  It also means that I can apply to DoDEA, my dream job.  My dream job because I would get to go back overseas to live and travel for a while longer, I would also get to pay back for all those teachers who taught my own children, and I think it would be a peace of mind for our fellow warriors stationed overseas to know that someone who has gone before them are now there to help their children through the frequent separations.  But I digress...

I'm Certifiable ;)
