I just announced a retired 3 star USMC Alum.

Did you go back home to renew plates every year? In Texas they require a state inspection prior to license plate renewal. DLs can be renewed on-line. What address did you use for DL when PCS away from Florida? If stationed in Texas PCS or TDY For Our Troops TxDMV appreciates your service...

yes, super hard to get away from barracks to walk down there to pick up. Washing machines and dryers are free, just provide soap. Pro-tip : if an athlete bring a sleeping bag or poncho liner

Stay out of it, he needs to learn to be his own advocate and learn to problem solve on his own. Can you imagine being a senior USMC NCO getting a phone call from a parent of one of his NROTC-MO mids about his uniform issues.

I tried lookng for Rook packing list on the website but couldn't find it. Call or email admissions officer. They may be coming out with a new Rook packing list. I read that there may be a uniform change so that may be the reason the packng list needs to be changed. When you do get it stick to...

AROTC and NROTC-MO do not care what your major will be. Just graduate.

There is a bus between TAMU and Blinn several times a day transporting cadets back and forth. I have even seen cadets in uniform OCP's riding a bike to class too. Imagine walking out of a chemistry class in the Chem building then needing to be in a class in 30 minutes in the behavior lab past...

If you are trying to pursue a commission in Navy or Air Force do your homework on requirements and pathways to contracting. Many students show up on campus with the intention to contract into AFROTC or NROTC but soon find out that may not be possible. There's a reason the AROTC battalion grows...

Son got his dates for AC-CST-LDAC or what ever they call it now. Any suggestions on a decent place to stay near post? Louisville, Elizabethtown, on post, or just outside the gate? Last year there was a family day, day before graduation. Did they release cadets on that day with instructions to...

Box 1 should be Room and board scholarships that each campus offers 3 and 4 year ROTC scholarship students such as the ID White-Norwich, Service Scholarship-Citadel, and the Patriot-TAMU. Box 5 should be ROTC scholarship money

Comfort Inn in Barre 10 or 12 miles is good hotel. Ask for Norwich discount. There’s a Hilton in Montpillier with a $$ steakhouse on 1st floor.

Our son is an MS3-junior. He flies home every time they have a break. Parents Weekend is a good time to visit. We go every year. Sugarbush or Warren is a good place to stay lots of air bnb. But book soon they sell out fast. Rooks have to wear a uniform 50 miles from campus in public they will...

He will be missed. He was good for the school.

Congratulations to him and your family. I was watching the live stream of branch night. The NU stats sounded like most cadets got top choices. My son did say there were a few who got branches way down on thier list. My kid is very similar to yours. B/C grades but he's a PT is top block too. The...
