I decided that I will wait until the end of the summer to make my decision. I have a current internship set up for this summer with my dream company, and if at the end of the summer I decide that it is the career path I wish to follow, then I will drop out of ROTC and agree to pay back my...

I appreciate all of your responses (both positive and negative.) There are of course going to be lots of different perspectives on a matter like this; I am just going to try to find what is best for me. There is a lot more to my situation that I could elaborate on to help my case but that would...

This is a question I had always wondered as well, but have yet to find a solution to. I had always thought that there would be jobs where the Army would want its own people to work with the civil contractors at NASA, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, etc. However, after doing research and reaching...

All, This information has been very helpful. A friend of mine who went to Advanced Camp last summer decided to disenroll in his last semester at school. I think it sounds like my best option is to wait and see what his outcome turns out to be, and to discuss my concerns with my Cadre. I know...

Hello, I am a current junior at a Big Ten school. I have had the Army ROTC Scholarship since out of high school, but am now planning on disenrolling from ROTC. I have been in the program for 3 years now, and there has not been a single point where I have enjoyed being a part of it. Each year I...

I will think about it a little longer before I make my decision. Thanks for your help.

What if I would end up immediately disliking the ROTC program? Would I be able to drop out at any time during the year? Also, how would that affect the scholarship benefits I receive?

I received the Army and Navy ROTC scholarships, and chose to accept the AROTC scholarship, but now I am having major second thoughts... My brother will be going into his 4th year of college as a chemical engineering major (what I also want to do) and is currently in his second year interning for...

I followed the Armstrong pullup program (first link if you google it) and that helped me get off my plateau of 15 pullups and got me to 20 in 4 weeks. The program gives you some serious results if you follow through with it, and will also help you with your pushups. I don't know how effective it...

Update: just received rejection letter in the mail. Good luck to everybody who made it and represent your country well! :smile:

Does anyone know if there is a specific date that West Point offers must be accepted by?

I received a nomination from my congressman and one of my senators.

I emailed my RC 3 weeks ago and he told me I would hear within 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks elapsed I emailed him again and once again he told me I would hear within 2 weeks.... No I am not a current soldier, just a frustrated 18 year old.

My application was completed entirely on January 8th. Since then I have not received anything from West Point. I have already paid college dues and have a roommate selected incase West Point does not work out, but at the same time I can't help but be extremely frustrated with how long it is...
