I have not received an email, but a letter was sent to my parents house from the Assistant Secretary of the Army.
Joined my SF in 2012, left about 12 months later due to the furlough (read: 20% pay cut). I was able to rejoin my SF (same cubicle as well!) approximately 1-1/2 years later.
Anyone else in a similar boat?

I believe you can provide your SSN to get to you account.

I am trying to find a lawyer to help and don't plan on paying anything until I get legal advice.
I also reached out to my university-- I suggest everyone else do the same.

Our contracts are legally binding, even though they present no clauses for mediation or appeal given any kind of extenuating circumstances during any phase of the program. Apparently the time to negotiate for inclusion of such clauses would have been at the time we accepted the scholarship and signed the contracts.

I just received an award a few weeks ago. I went ahead and signed since you can back out after the site visit. But I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to go about adding a mediation clause and/or finding a lawyer to help. Does anyone have experience negotiating their contract for anything?
Thanks!
