DS did it a few times. My daughter saw his pictures and wanted to do it too. On parents weekend after the football game we took a and a trip to walmart for a pair of sneakers forDD. DS decided that DH and I would not be good candidates for this adventure. He said it would be a difficult climb...

Pretty much the same situation for us. I forced DS to visit his plan B school at admitted students day since it was now mid April and he hadn’t heard anything from USAFA. He toured the AFROTC dept and spent much of our time talking with students involved. He ended up accepting his AFROTC...

BarbieK..I think it's more common that we know. I think , like you, many people just don't want to post about it. Just as with any college, kids will leave. They will realize they made a decision that wan't right for them. So many of my oldest son's classmates are not where they started. Some...

DS received academic scholarships to multiple colleges as well as a 4 year, any major AFROTC scholarship. One of the universities that had AFROTC gave him an academic scholarship and would have applied that to room and board with any surplus given to DS ( and it would even include off campus...

Some how I think My DS figured it all out a long time ago. Some days it seems like he is even more capable than I am. Actually I am so grateful that he ( and my other two) are pretty independent. I feel like it will benefit him tremendously in a few weeks.

Yeah.. I figured we are only going to Colorado ,not some remote island. There will be stores. We can shop while there if necessary and if DS doesn't send specifics prior to PW.

Thank you KTMDAD and Hoodlum15. He usually wears the Nike DRiFit in either white or black so it sounds perfect. I tell him to let me know if it is not ok so I will be prepared for PW!

If they are allowed running shoes/cleats for intramural can we bring their regular favorite socks for them at parents weekend or do they have to wear academy issued socks with running shoes/cleats?

Well....actually... before my son was notified of his appointment he accepted an ROTC scholarship ( type 1) to Syracuse University. One of the few schools that covers room and board with his scholarship. He also had a $20,000 academic scholarship so....he would have tuition, fees, books covered...

My son officially hit the accept button. Mom2mnem/DS/No LOA/Appt April 28 2017/NY-01/Nominated by Congressman Lee Zeldin and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

My son officially hit the accept button yesterday afternoon. This morning the long list of " to do" items was on his portal ...including the travel arrangement form.

. My sons portal was updated yesterday. He received an appointment!!

I keep telling him, it's his decision and we'll support either one. He is the one to live it, not me or my wife. We are both vets (AF and Navy) and did our time. This is his time and he chooses the path that's right for him. I agree with you on that. It is ultimately his decision. He put in...

Syracuse covers room and board because of the type of AFROTC scholarship he has. The kicker is that he has a $20,000 academic scholarship from them. Room and board right now is around $15,000. He would get to keep the difference every year . And it would even apply if he eventually chose off...
