My son is a forth year student on a 3yr ROTC scholarship. He has struggled with the running part of the fitness program. He usually passes with narrow margin by the end of each semester.this year he failed his first run so they pulled his scholarship. He is now left to figure out how to fund this semester before he can register for winter! I feel it unfair to pull a scholarship mid semester and think a kid is just come up with that amount of money. Additionally they required him to report to the school for pt during the summer months even though he said he would log his pt and report in each month. Because of this he had to rent an apartment near school and reduce his summer work hours both of which cost him money. At this point the ROTC scholarship program is costing my son more money then he is getting while creating an extremely stressful situation.
My son finds great honor in serving his country and is from a military family but I must say I will discourage the rest of his siblings from going this route. I really would like to know if this is standard or if his commander my have a personality issue with my son and is trying to push him out.
