As for not receiving the confirmation email like the rest of us? IIRC, since you mailed your 100 and dd214 in, you wouldn't receive one. My understanding is that only the online submitters get that email. At least that's the way it seems from reading all these posts.
I'm happy for you, but just as happy for me too... As I'm only about 2 weeks behind your timeline, so at least there is a glimmer of hope that I'll be in those early batches too and won't suffer a prolonged wait.
