Armynurse2B, I agree with the former replies as well. While I wanted to let you know that they cannot boot you out if you get pregnant it probably isn't the best idea to try to get pregnant during your cadet years (not saying you are). Yes I was fortunate to have a lot of support and I have...

THANK YOU Both to Packer and Marist College ROTC. Packer- I agree! :) Marist College ROTC- Thank you for your insight!! I can see where you are coming from when saying that cadet A still had to prove to you she wanted in the program by having a great GPA and being physically fit. BUT at...

To post more info that I have to clear up. Pima posted a few things which I am not quite sure where he/she got out of my original post. First off I am only 4.5 post partum right now, my son was not born 12+ months ago. Secondly yes I did wear my uniform for 7 straight months during my...

I think there has been a misunderstanding or at least thats what I'm hoping. I never REQUESTED a deferrment, I asked my LTC about it and discussed it with him as an option for the following reason. If I am to miss every weekly class due to nursing clinicals that are mandatory as well as miss 4...

Pima, Also I don't ever remember saying anything about daycare issues. My family and my husband will be with my son that was never an issue to begin with. The issue has nothing to do with leaving my son/family. I've spent 7months away from training before the 1month away for LDAC is nothing...

Pima, just to clarify. My GRFD SMP scholarship locks me in for National Guard meaning I cannot, even if I wanted to, go Active Duty upon commissioning. My LTC knows that I do not want to go Acive duty he is the one that signed the contract saying that I will remain in the National Guard upon my...

To clarify, I would not be asking to defer because I am a mom. I am in the national guard I am prior service having completed basic and AIT and graduating as a combat medic. I am on scholarship GRFD SMP. I would be asking to defer for the following reason: If I cannot attend the majority...

If you get pregnant after contracting they cannot boot you out because of it so don'l let anyone tell you otherwise!! I had a baby while contracted, I am in the army side of ROTC. You are part of the military so whatever regulations they have regarding pregnant soldiers applies to you!! I...

Dear Sir, I have posted a thread on here and was directed to you. I am in a huge dilemna. Long story short I am an MSIII GRFD SMP scholarship. I am a nursing student but do not have nursing in my contract. My schedule for this next semester will not allow me to attend weekly MSIII class and I...

Also to reason I am not doing the nursing scholarship is because it is not my wish to go active duty as well as it is very hard to find slots in units in the guard for a Nurse.

Hey Everyone thanks for the advice so far. To reply to some of the questions that came up. I have looked into an LOA the problem with that is I would not be able to take the class this semester and so if I were to come back in the fall which would be my senior year they will not let me take...

Alright here is my situation. I am a MSIII and a nursing student at a satellite school (however I don't have a nursing scholarship) I have a GRFD SMP scholarship. I go to a small private school where classes may only be offered at one time during the week which is happening especially this...
