    Yes, I know that. I was using the exact terminology my son's recruiters used with us. They told him after we filled out the paper work that "all we are waiting on is a bed to open up". And I took it to mean they were waiting for a space to come available so I didn't correct them.

    You're welcome. I hope it works out for you. As the recruiters explained to my son it can be difficult getting it approved and he was the only one they had seen where it was actually granted.
