Congrats RAM (and an early congrats to all future offerees/acceptees)! Enjoy the dizzying excitement for a while, catch your breath, and then get ready to drink from the fire hose over the next several months, both in terms of learning a new area of law as well as having to move and report to your new office three weeks from Monday.

Thank you all for your well wishes. My start date is June 27. I report to my duty station on June 27 and three weeks later I go to Falls Church for training. The training is from July 17 through August 12. At least that's what I believe she said. I was so excited, it's all a blur. Thank goodness they will be sending me an email with all the information included. I said yes to the offer before she finished making it. She paused at one moment and I said yes. Then I asked, where am I going? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ?

Glad you could answer immediately and congratulations.

After all the time it takes to get the offer, absent a change in circumstances, it shouldn't take any time to say yes. Congratulations. Pixie.

I also just got the call!! I requested a deferral to July and was told I could ask, but the request was unlikely to be granted because they are trying hard to fill the June class. I told them I could make June 27 work if it wasn't granted. Still waiting to hear back on start date. Also waiting for my heartrate to drop down to some semblance of normality.
