That is all my SR did for the last 7 months before leaving....gym everyday....but for some reason he was so worried about the run.....Even the morning we took him to the recruiter to leave, he was stressing over the run....so I am surprised he did not mention it in his letter...

Connie you are so ahead of me....I am still waiting to know if my bosses are going to let me off...last week they said give them a couple of days...ugggg, its been a week. I am guessing they don't want to play nice. And I am also waiting to see what the Dr. is going to do with my shoulder. All I want is to be in Great Lakes on 2.17.2012, and it seems like nothing is working to get ME there.....I told my Husband we need to at least get him booked, and he keeps wanting to wait to see what i will be able to do...MEN...
Bright Side of Things...We should get more letters this week...:)

It would drive me crazy waiting for my boss. Luckily the person who is interim manager with me is a friend. We work well together arranging our schedule so one of us is there. Good luck with your shoulder.
I am worried about planning so early. To get refundable tickets was more than double the price so mine aren't. I hate to see the charge if I have to reschedule. My boyfriend said he was willing yo bet $1500 that he would graduate on time, so he is. I just keep praying.

Connie, I was told by someone on here or face book ROTC to use SOUTHWEST, they will refund your money within 24 hours and if the grad date changes Southwest will easily change the date for you without charge- that's why I booked with southwest- I asked about refundable tickets on ROTC face book and thats what a veteran on the ROTC face book told me. To use SOUTHWEST....

I love Southwest. They are great about changing flights and have the best customer service They don't have a direct flight from here. It was a choice of less than 2 hours and the chance of paying if I need to change with American. With Southwest it was more than 5 hours and adds another city to cause weather delays. Southwest was also a little more expensive which was unusual.
