    Does commissioning source matter?

    Great post and as a Mom, its nice to see them on a day when the TWE are all coming out for AFA. DS is in AROTC and loves it but always wanted the higher brass ring and didn't get it as of 2 hours ago! Thanks for the posts....

    These post have to be a joke right? If they are, I am having trouble seeing it. My DS is a proud AROTC scholarship winner and is about to complete his first year. His dream was always Air Force. Unfortunately he didn’t get an AFROTC scholarship but his goal was to serve and he took his Army one...

    Is no news bad news?

    Oopsss gottan change that last post... DH just called me at work and said the TWE just came. You are correct it does not say "Qualified Not Selected" like he got last year. DS is disappointed but is happy at college and has a 4 year AROTC scholarship. Good luck everyone! DS says he isn't going...

    Non select.... What does that mean....why didn't they just send out NO months ago and not leave the 1200 kids still thinking they had a chance... Just not right... Sad for the kids who are getting them...DS still thought he had a chance.

    Ditto that. Last year DS got notified in a letter in April. Looks that way again for him. He is ok with whatever comes to be, he knows he has no controll. It was funny, when he was home for break from college he was saying he wishes he was born a few years earlier because the class sizes were...

    Boys State

    Agree.... Do each...none....both. Do what u are interested in not what looks good on your resume... Each are different and any college knows when you are doing something just to have it look good....they can see from your DS or DD resume how much they have volunteered or had leadership positions...

    Hers it is....someone did say it was equal

    Boys State

    I have to just interject... Last year I saw the same posts with people saying that Boys State was equal to Eagle Scout. They are NO WAY equal and for people to say they are is not accurate. Colleges look at both as being a huge accomplishment. My DS has his Eagle Scout and did Boys State and I...

    Contacting your Counselor

    Agree, DS is NOT going to call the academy....It doesn't help your situation out and make the outcome any different. Stalking the mailbox is all you can do. All of our kids will know soon enough! Good Luck!
