    Could be original then if there are no arsenal rebuild stamps and can't exclude mismatched parts.

    Got a nice phone call this morning. At first, I was annoyed to get a call at 6 AM then I recognized the 256 area code. Sure enough, it was the CMP calling me before I went in to work. They found my packet (which I had thought was lost in the mail, turns out I sent it to the wrong CMP address) and were letting me know I was one of the lucky individuals selected to order one this year. They wanted to know what grade I wanted (service grade of course) and cautioned me that the order might be processed tomorrow, it might be processed next week, it might take 3 months. I told Tracy I was just happy to be having that phone call. Can't wait to see what war veteran I get ...

    The only regret is that after looking at some of the field grades on CMP's forums, I have the feeling I should have gone that route ... but the nice thing is that you know ANYthing you get from CMP is a veteran.

    It's funny ... I've found you're often better off if they feel like they screw up because they bend over backwards to fix the situation. There was a post on the CMP forums where one guy had several items dorked up on the one he received so after a lot of thought and consultation, he sent it back in, not knowing if he was going to get a replacement or a refund. From what he said afterward, he got an ultra-nice replacement.

    No. To be honest, I didn't want to ask because I didn't want the answer to be that they bent the rules because they felt bad that my packet had been sitting at another desk since week 1 of applications being allowed. If I don't ask, they don't have to say anything, no one gets annoyed. Knowing the number only matters (to me) when waiting to be selected. Now that I've received the call and told them what I want ... I just want the call from Whistling Pines saying they have a package for me.
