PS: This announcement has just been made earlier this morning (9/27) at Pentagon. I heard the news even before USAREC people got it. So, not all USAREC personnel may be aware of this yet. However, they will hear it pretty soon.
PS2: I know that the goarmy.com website about the MAVNI program still shows the status as on hold. I notified USAREC about this, and they are working on revising the website as of this moment.
