Never effected my DODMERB. I am currently on a 4-year Army ROTC Scholarship at Univ of Tampa.

It was about a week after everything was uploaded

My stipend started as soon as my contract was uploaded to CCIMMS. and I was backpayed to the beginning of the semester. I didn’t even have my CAC yet. I now have my CAC but I still haven’t sworn in. It’s more about when they upload your documents into the system. Then the payments automatically...

It was about three weeks

I love it! I just got back from our Fall FTX where we did an obstacle course, land nav, BRM, and a ruck march. The program here is top notch and our Cadre are amazing. The school supports us very well and we are housed in a brand new building with an area built just for us. I definitely do not...

Full Tuition and Fees to my Top 3 Choices. I picked University of Tampa which offers a Room and Board Grant on top of that

I received a Four Year Scholarship from the First Board last year and I was notified on November 14th. So those that are boarded just be patient

Your son should send the SAT score to Army ROTC via College Board. I would strongly advice against trying to get the PMS to change the score. In all likelihood this is not possible once it is entered into the system. However, the interview is more about leadership characteristics then it is...

Only contracted cadets get uniforms at my Battalion. So he is relatively lucky that all he has to do is meet height and wait standards. I will get my uniform in a few weeks but the bravo team leader in my squad who is an MS2 still doesn't have one

Current MS 1 4-year scholarship cadet here. This is what I've observed. Most of the cadets at my battalion with 3-year scholarships had around a 1200-1250. How Nursing works at my battalion is that national scholarship winners are given a year extension to finish their nursing degree due to the...

At my Battalion non-contracted Cadets are not allowed to wear any uniforms. Usually the CONOP for the lab will specifically state what non-contracted cadets should wear. It does vary by Battalion from what I understand

My battalion had six 4-year scholarships and we all passed the APFT yesterday by various degrees. We got to do 2 weeks of PT before hand which gave us time to practice the proper form. That definitely made a huge difference

I wanted to put this out there and thank everyone on this forum. This forum has been my go to over the last two years as I have been working towards today. This afternoon, I move into the University of Tampa on a 4 year AROTC scholarship. I would not have been able to get this point without this...
