Thanks. He has already asked for permission, I just don't think it should be scheduled to interfere. And of all things, this is scheduled for a long weekend (Monday off) but they are required to miss half day Thursday and all Friday, but will return Sunday. Why not use the 3 days off? It is his...

Question for those with experience. My son is a freshman on AROTC scholarship. He has been told he has to miss a full day of classes + a few the afternoon the day before to attend a weekend aff site "lab " I didn't think the ROTC would interfere with his classes? He has been required to miss...

A waiver was given for the ROTC event, but it would be better if not scheduled or cadet was informed before academic schedule set. It is a one hour zoom session in addition to weekly ROTC class. Then with the early schedule for FTX, I am wondering if this is the norm? Academics should come...

Thanks. There is a weekly event that conflicts with a class, and FTX starting before last class on Friday. Not a big deal, just want to avoid missing class. Hopefully this is just a first semester issue that can be planned for going forward. Thanks again for the insight.

Is it normal for AROTC (or other branches) to require cadets to miss class(es) to attend ROTC events? What is the expectation? There seems to be a bit of "unadvertised" events that were not previously disclosed that, had they been known, could have helped with scheduling classed, etc. Just...

I should clarify that if the cadet is not recommended for active duty by PMS. I know cadets can opt for reserves.

In AROTC, what happens if a cadet does not go active duty? Do they get a spot in the resreves? If the cadet is on scholarship does it continue for the remaining year(s)? It seems this would be the equivalent of not getting a flield selected for field training in the AFROTC. I am just trying...

Which boots (and other equipment) are recommended to be CV purchased prior to the beginning of the school year? Thanks

How long does it take to get a response about requesting an alternate facility for physical and/or optometrist for the DDoMERS? The assigned facilities are not conveinent for travel and available times. Is it possible to get a couple choices and check available appointments before deciding?

Thanks. With the ability to transfer it seems that it is not a big issue to get one that might have been skipped.

I appreciate your insight into all things ROTC. Can you provide some insight into how the board determines which schools to award the scholarships to? Why do some get top 3 while others get lower ranked schools? Does public vs. Private play a roll? Just curious. Thanks.

I have looked, but will look again. He also might have to be proactive once he has the schools that he is accepted to. BU would be great, maybe he should introduce himself via email to the BU AFROTC. Do you think it would be appropriate for him to contact schools before he is accepted and tell...
