    Cadet Talent Management Program - Branching Slides ?

    Hi all, Hoping someone might be able to help. Our cadet is having trouble accessing the OEMA Talent Branching site - it looks like the US Army has recently upgraded a number of systems. The site had a list of slides for each of the branches with the various talents (spatial awareness...

    Question for Cadettes...

    In all honesty the above term "lovely" whilst i'm sure very well-intentioned seems to commit the same type of gender bias of which the OP was accused. It sounds like this is a generational conflict rather than a gender one, and perhaps we should empower those who use terminology that they feel...

    Question for Cadettes...

    tbh I can see the benefit for using the -ette ending in certain circumstances as a short hand in lieu of specifying one's gender directly in social media. For example when the response to a question might be different (ie hair style regs, packing lists, weapon hold variations, etc). If those...

    CULP l/ other summer opportunities for MS 1s

    I'd second project go. You can be an absolute beginner for some of the programs and the languages are the ones most people find hard. Also you don't have to transfer the grades back to your home school in order to participate so there's little to no downside. The other thing you may have him...

    Laser Eye Surgery for Current AROTC Cadets

    For Army there also seems to be a preference of PRK instead of Lasik for those interested in aviation, despite both being acceptable subject to certain parameters. Not sure why PRK bias but it does seem to be a thing. Is there an option to have it done over the winter break for your DS?

    Request for Contact re: Donation of MREs

    Apologies in advance if this is not permitted. Some friends from our religious community back in NJ are planning an aid trip to Puerto Rico, where several of the leaders are from. They were asking about the appropriate food they should take with them for personal consumption as they plan to be...

    When to Begin Applications for AROTC Summer Programs

    Some of the project go programs are for absolute beginners although from past experience if the cadet has an opportunity to take at least 1 semester of the target language that helps to show interest. The applications for 2018 aren't live yet but a perusal of last year's information gives you...

    When to Begin Applications for AROTC Summer Programs

    You may also wish to check out Project GO. It is open to both contracted and not yet contracted cadets of all levels. I believe the application process opens up sometime early to mid-October with applications due by Dec/Jan. Here is the website. http://www.rotcprojectgo.org/

    Wearing the ACU as a No Contract Cadet

    Usually the instructions for the lab indicate what non-contracted cadets should wear. Some programs provide items to all cadets but if yours is not one of those programs or if it is and you haven't received your items yet, it would be better to wear regular clothes not what you purchased. For...

    New GoArmyEd procedures for Scholarship Payments

    In our experience, it seems goarmyed automated scholarship payment was supposed to go live last semester but was put on hold (at least where we are). It's likely going to have hiccoughs this time around . In my cadet's case I called financial aid and they were already aware of the new process...

    University of Tampa ROTC

    Congratulations on your scholarship. From what I understand, if you are awarded an ROTC scholarship, UT has in the past given a grant for a large portion of the room and board. Not sure what other perks might be available. In terms of what to expect, its a very exciting time, not only joining...

    Emailing ROTC Battalions

    Congratulations on the scholarship. One thing to consider - it is the end of the semester at most schools so cadre might be trying to wrap up a lot of loose ends for newly contract cadets, summer program deadlines, December grads, etc. - that might be affecting the timeliness of the responses

    How do the payments for ROTC work?

    Not sure if you are already a cadet or still in high school. If you are a cadet, your hra (human resources) contact person within your ROTC program will usually fill out the paperwork to send to the school's registraar for the tuition payment. There is a system call mypay that you may need to...
