Florida Cadet
Hey Coach. The Quartermaster answered those questions for me. The Corps will pull DS from INTRO to have him fitted. You will need to speak with the Quartermaster about the trunk order. He will tell you that items can be purchased through the trunk order form or you can...
Visits to ROTC
You should have interviews with the Recruiting Officers at each college. Keep sending emails until you get through. Some colleges you might have to use the phone. The ROOs and the PMSs are often away or may even be retiring or going onto another post. You may need to talk...
I guess i plead ignorance
When DS started the application process we were told to apply for everything. We went about that as good advise. We then started visiting colleges. When I described what we were doing to an Army Col. in Virginia, he was quite offended. How could we fill out...
Checking up on me, eh?
Just to be clear. There are several reasons to apply to every academy and ROTC program that I would find appropriate.
First and foremost... If you want a pilot spot then by all means apply to all of them. All branches need pilots.
As been pointed out in other...
Recruiting question
Had you seen these recruiters prior to the application process?
It sounds like someone was trying to tie up some loose ends prior to being relieved or something.

North Georgia gives a Out of state Tuition waiver to thoses in the Corps of Cadets...

ROTC Application
I see people on here that have multiple ROTC and service academy offers. They act like that is a badge of honor. To me it looks self centered. Especially with the service academies, you have screwed a friend or a neighbor out of his chance at an appointment.
We have too...
DS will go to college locally unless he is offered an AD 3 elsewhere. It seems like the Army colleges are willing to add my son's name to their list of applicants for a campus based AD 3. The local college seems content to let the non-contract students enter ROTC and compete for the 10 or so...
How long does it take to process an campus based AD3 scholarship?
DS has been promised an AD3 for months, but we had to wait until the national boards were done. Last week we got a call asking if we were still interested. We said that we were and we are still waiting to see it processed.
