DCO Selectee
Squirrel Girl and I chatted offline about this but her circumstances don't really apply in my case so I wanted to ask the rest of y'all.
For those of you who commissioned remotely, what did you do about the pinning of the bars/silver dollar/selectee's remarks/wetting down? My guess is that I just eliminate all of those things, which is a bit of a shame.
I thought I had read in one of the threads here that people were doing a mock "pinning of the bars" ceremony at ODS graduation even pre-COVID.
Hey, so they don't do mock pinning at ODS. If you are doing yours remotely that is cool any Officer can give you your oath. Have your family and friends around so when they finish the oath they can pin your bars on. After that you would just need an enlisted member to provide you with your first salute (This could be done via VTC) and give them the coin. Afterward invite your family to come party on your dime (wetting down).
