Hey yrangd, my confirmation of application letter for cong. Delaney was postmarked 26 October. Good luck and maybe see you at the interview!

To clarify I'm in Australia and got the test done here by a private doctor

Hey Alastair I'm in a similar situation, I got in contact with DoDMERB and while they were quite helpful, they said I'd have to get the test done on my own dime... Sorry to disappoint. Best of luck

To MiddyB, AFrpaso, Navy Hoops, 02 , thanks for this! The reddit section especially looks good!

Fencer, I'm a dual citizen but dependent on an ex pat with legal residency in MD08. I did get a nom from Congressman Van Hollen and I double and triple checked my right to do so with his office and Senator Mikulski's office. Pima, I talked to my ALO who said everything was excellent on her end...

@Pima you're right, I really don't understand it at all :P here in Australia everyone gets their basic level of health insurance (hospitals, doctors visits ect) from the government and then you can add private health cover if you want to. I guess the best thing is to wait for the detachment to...

Pima, from the document, under the section entitled : 3.35. Authorized Tuition and Fee Entitlements. 3.35.7.1. Payment of university health fees is authorized if it is mandatory for all students whether or not they have alternative insurance. If the university provides an option to either pay a...

@Pima oh well, but I think I still get my initial travel paid. On the upside, reading AFI 36-2017 I found out I can get my health insurance paid for if I go through the uni. Very helpful document thanks @AlphaAlphaSigma. @navymomwannabe that's a very helpful list :D Sorry I have so many...

Hi guys Unfortunately this year I didn't make it to the Academy but I'll be doing AFROTC and trying again! From my perspective, by far my worst section was my CFA and I feel that some others may have had the same problem. So already, I'm training hard! I thought I'd start a thread so that...

@Pima that is so helpful thank you! Do you know who might be still in the office over the break? I wanted to come to the States early to have a holiday with my family so that might change things. Also I'm not up to date on all the lingo! GMC? FCC? POC? Could you please explain? Thanks again :)...

@AlphaAlphaSigma Maryland! Go Terps! Thank you both for your quick responses. @EDelahanty are you saying I'll have to pay for my flight to LAX/Hawaii?

Hi guys, I'm accepting a 3-year type 7 to UMD and I was just wondering... 1) Do you need to report in/be at the unit a certain time before the start of classes? Or do you just turn up with everyone else? 2) I live out of the country and the documents I received said that the ROTC detachment...

@PJdaines what district/state are you?

@onesooz I'm afraid not, Maryland. You can call your nominating source and check if you're unsure, the congressman's office seemed happy to help me!

Same here. I thought everyone should know that in my district the Congressman (NOT senator) has not received a list of candidates to contact...I called their office to check...Possibly, it means some of us may still be competing for slated spots! The game is still afoot!
