    MCROTC PFT female pull ups

    I know females are not required to do pull ups, but I remember a few years ago being told that even 1 pull-up was worth more points than the max flex arm hang. Do females have the option to do pull ups instead of the flexed arm hang? What is the points value?

    service commitments

    If I am reading the AROTC info correctly, the service obligation (8 years) is incurred as soon as the scholarship is activated now. Didn't scholarship students used to have to sign their commitment papers upon returning to start their junior year, thus they had a year or 2 to test out the program?

    Foreign Language Waiver

    Anyone know if a cadet is placed into a "strategic foreign language" but the professor doesn't feel they demonstrate a proficiency to continue in that language (C-) and thus signs a waiver for the cadet's language requirement (leaving 3 semesters not taken), will that have a negative impact...

    Medical / Dental updates

    Do we need to notify someone at USAFA or DoDMERB that son had his wisdom teeth removed after we completed and submitted all the forms with his acceptance of his appointment? The oral surgeon gave him a letter stating that he was fully cleared now.
