    Timeline for Clip $?

    Concur that it seems to rely heavily on the HR person. Paperwork submitted after 1st semester and 2nd semester but finally officially submitted for 3 semesters by HR right before the Dec 2014 deadline. $3000 due for 12 credits but nothing so far. At this point we've pretty much assumed it's a...

    End of CLIP

    Just got word of this recently too: IAW US Code Title 37, Subsection 353 - SKILL INCENTIVE PAY OR PROFICIENCY BONUS, "No agreement may be entered into under this section after December 31, 2014". Therefore, any Cadet wishing to receive a CLIP B payment for eligible courses from the Fall term of...

    AROTC OML changes

    Haven't seen anything in writing but here's what DS heard at LTX recently. OML would be based on 50% academic (20% standardized testing, 15% GPA, 5% outside courses (??), and 10% MSIII final), 35% Leadership (25% Cadre Eval, 5% Extra activities (??), 5% cultural/language), and 15% Physical...

    CIET summer 2015

    DS was at LTX this weekend and was told the MSIIs would be going to CIET this summer, not definite for the MSIs. Assume CLC will follow after MSIII yr for the class of 2017? Anyone else heard anything similar?

    Transfer of Scholarship

    Thanks, I'm not sure whether the two schools are in the same Brigade or not, definitely will check that. Mainly, since we were past the transfer request date (and did not request the transfer yet) wasn't sure how much "pull" the PMS would have with CC. PMS told my DS he didn't think it would be...

    Transfer of Scholarship

    Does anyone have any experience with late scholarship transfer requests? Deadline for transfer request was yesterday (4/12) but is it likely Cadet Command would make an exemption at the request of a PMS if both the receiving school and ROTC scholarship winner wanted it? I'd think typically...

    can I read anything into the wording on the portal

    I can't speak for the 3rd board but for the 2nd board where my DS was awarded a scholaship, the portal just stated "you were awarded a scholaship to college xyz". It wasn't until the letter came that he found out it was a 4 yr. Incidently, saw many people talking about multiple options for...

    AROTC Contact with ROO vs PMS

    Thanks for the additional perspectives. We'll just lay low for awhile and expect to hear more as the time gets closer.

    AROTC Contact with ROO vs PMS

    Thanks for the advice. None of the questions were urgent, and perhaps since they were of general interest, the ROO will be passing along info to the incoming group as a whole rather than individually. I will suggest next time my son talks or emails with him, that he verify the preferred method...

    AROTC Contact with ROO vs PMS

    My son has accepted the offer of a 4 yr ROTC scholarship that was awarded at the January board. He has been in contact only with the ROO at the school who also conducted his application interview so far. He has reached out a few times to the ROO recently with some questions and to keep him in...
