Congratulations!  And thank you.  I come from a rather large military family--I was in ROTC all set to go straight from high school into some element of the Vietnam war and...on the last day of high school i was in a football accident which shattered my knees and busted my hip (basically a big kid slid on the grass at the same time i did; he grabbed my ankles for some reason and bent my legs backwards)  1A became 4F and bye-bye military scholarship etc.   It has bothered me how little real respect, admiration there has been for a military career in the years since.  it is a kind of unspoken career for those who somehow prefer to not think about it, whose avoidance mechanisms blind them to the extraordinary layers of chaos flowing around the world these days... may your years keep you in fairly good health, may you find company and recognition whenever you do complete this part of your life.
