He's In (possibly...)

My husband just found out today that the metal plate in his leg will not keep him out of the Marines. He is elated! The only thing that could be holding him back now is his blood pressure. It is apparently a bit high (140/80) It's up to some doctors in Wash DC now.
Aaron is hoping to be commissioned as an officer. He has to get references and meet some pretty strenous requirements. The review board will meet in November. At that time(pending the BP outcome), Aaron will learn if he is a candidate. He would then go to Officer Candidate School. This would last 10 weeks.
I must say, it will be tough to be away from him, but this is something he really wants to do. It is pretty exciting.
