| @surfaxel. What’s the latest news OP? How’d she do? |
I am saddened by your plight. Allow me to offer my deepest and sincerest condolence. However, I do not have the Chaplain’s duty and I am short of towels. Please see the Captain of the Head for material for drying your eyes.

She may be targeted by Officers who want to recruit her. She can get some glimpse and exposure to the culture. Even after graduation without being in NROTC, with a university degree, if this is something she wants to pursue professionally, she can apply to Officer Candidate School. Just keep a watchful eye on her to make certain she is being treated respectfully, not being harassed, etc. The Military Affairs Department and NROTC are like the boy and girl scouts, etc. Who knows, the students sitting next to her, after graduation may be flying jets over the University and chasing UFOs from carriers, "it's an adventure" |

OP only ever made 22 posts in his entire time on arfcom, mostly in this thread, with last post over 2 years ago. Talk about a thread that won't die! OP was from 2019! And she was going in in 2019, so she's probably back out by now. |

Anything IT or mechanic-related will translate to a very fulfilling career after she gets out. |
