He reports to TBS 3 June

My DS Commissioned last Friday from The Citadel. The number I remember was 147. He commissioned into the USMC and there were 17 total in his group

Its up to you. As you mentioned, one of the 1st things that happens is a hair cut. Show up in shape and with a good attitude. Charleston is hot and humid in August so you need to be in good physical shape. Good luck!

Hard to believe its been 4 years. Super proud of you and look forward to hearing from you after you commission. Congratulations!

Another - Thank you for this post! I cant believe how fast the 4 years have gone by. My DS is graduating, commissioning and headed to TBS - he is hopeful that he gets infantry after TBS. Its amazing how things progress and the worries and concerns from 4 years ago are completely different now...

I'm happy to offer some perspective as a parent of a senior. My DS is graduating in May and commissioning into the USMC. Congrats and exciting times for your DS.

My DS did it back in 2020. It was a great opportunity to see the campus, meet with ROTC staff and current cadets - and get a basic idea about the program. I would highly recommend it if you are seriously considering TAMU.

First off - very sorry for your situation. I am one of the old guys here, but I can 100% relate to your situation, Many moons ago, I was awarded a NROTC-MO scholarship to a SMC. I reported for ROOK week and ended up tearing my ACL. My condition required surgery and I was not able to retain my...

My guess is that he is referring to the official District review Board where the candidates are evaluated for a scholarship. There shouldn't be any other interviews at this point. Best of luck

All good DS commissions in May and heads to TBS.

So glad your back. Hope you are doing well.

Results will "trickle" out by District. It is not a uniform process like the other scholarship boards. It has been several years, but the first week of December is when I think my DS was notified. Best of luck.

Agree with all the previous posts. I can't remember seeing stats from a MO winner with a PFT in the 250 range. My recollection is the average is in the 270+ range. This is a good time to focus on getting comfortable with pullups and the other PFT components. Should you be awarded the...

My 2 cents - you have a glamourous vision in your head about being a cadet and being at The Citadel. You have gone down the path 2 times and pulled the rip cord on both occasions, in less than a week. Room inspections are the easiest part of being at an SMC. There is nothing glamourous about...

No questions - proud of you and your journey. You are a great model of perseverance. Best of luck and keep us posted as you continue down the path. My DS is in the same class as you and finished up USMC OCS this past summer. Seems like yesterday when you both for seniors in HS!
