So ds submitted his AROTC app. It shows PFT was sent to the coach listed. Will the coach be contacted to administer the test, or is it my son's responsibility to get it started? confusing.....
We just did the PFT, and sent in the signed results on the paper copy. Coach had not received the e-mail. Do you think he also needs to send in the e-mail when he gets it? Future - did you son's portal update to say PFT received just from the uploaded copy?
This sounds about right from what I remember from last year.We were told to shoot for 50 sit-ups, 40 push-ups, 6-7 min mile. But aim high and do your best!

My son's portal was updated just from the upload. To my knowledge, the coach still hasn't recd an email from CC. My gut tells me that if he does, in fact, eventually get an email, it will probably be asking for the same info. on the PFT form. I figure it's their way of verifying that the information is legit. I'll try and email the coach while I'm at work tomorrow to see if he's gotten anything.
I just heard back from DS coach this morning. He said he has yet to receive an email from CC. So, I'm wondering if the upload of the form signed by the coach is satisfying the requirement.
Ds still waiting on PFT and interview. So you are saying to have son get things going with coach prior to coach being notified?
Definitely! That's what we did, and it hasn't come back to kick us in the teeth yet!
We set up an appointment with the coach, downloaded the PFT scoring form from the Additional Information area of the application portal, had the coach complete and sign the form at the time DS did PFT, and then uploaded the signed form into the application. It was approved in no time flat and told us we were good to go to schedule the interview.
We still haven't gotten anything on interview selections either. Should he contact the school to set something up? Does he need to notify anyone before he does this? Frustrating process.....
Degli,
If I have read your post correctly, they have stated that they emailed the coach. Your DS should be able to print it and take it to the coach. Have him print 2 if it makes you feel better....1 for him to keep, 1 for the coach to keep.
It appears others have submitted the scores before the coach got the email and they are moving forward.
~~~ Again a reason to have 2 copies....if it does come back to bite you, the coach has the original results in his office, and if he can't find his, you have yours.
Unfortunately, being safe with duplication is what you want. Remember the military is big, and pieces of information can get lost. Send the original with no copy can cause stress on you later on. I kept all of our DS's paperwork until he commissioned.
JMPO, you should set up appointments to meet every unit this fall, not for the interview process per se, but every det is different from a personality perspective. They are like colleges regarding a unique feel. However, just because the college has a unique feel does not mean the det. has the same feel.
Have them meet with cadets (MSIII/IV) without you because the fact is they will talk openly and can give them more insight on what his life will be like than anyone here or on www.collegeconfidential.com It also will allow MSIII's to remember him when he is an MSI and they are a MSIV. Not that they will give special treatment, but instead they have a face with a name those 1st few weeks.
Posters have done this over the past few yrs., and many actually changed their school rankings. College academics is part of their life, and as they go up the ROTC rank, ROTC will become a bigger part of their life. ROTC may become their social aspect of college.
