The original deadline for my waiver was yesterday, September 4. So I expected to know one way or another by COB (Close of Business). I didn't.
I just keep waiting because people way above my pay grade created the deadline, so they can also amend or renegotiate the deadline.
Waiting for War is Hell.
Veteran of four wars, four enlistments, four branches: Air Force, Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard. I am both an AF (Air Force) veteran and as Veteran AF (As Fuck)

Another Day Older
It's 630pm and still no answer one way or the other. My wife believes "Yes" is an answer, but "No" is not. So I will have to wait till Tuesday for paperwork to resume.
