I bought my son his sabare . When are we supposed to give it to them before or after they commission? I have appreciated this forum so much as we made big decisions throughout these past 5 years .

Congratulations !!! My son is May 15th I just hope I hold it together his dad passed his junior year of high school . My dad is pinning him with me.

My son is worried about the active duty as well. He was told if numbers are true he has a 60% chance for his choice. My big question is when they evaluate a GPA do they look at the amount of credits taken?? Son has a triple major so 21 credits a semester his GPA is barely a 3.5

As of last year Room and Board were not taxable as they are repaying with commitment of time after graduation. I hope this helps.

My son is going this year as well. I asked about the graduation ceremony. He said he would not want me there and no other parents attend.

Taxes on Room and Board Scholarships My is Army ROTC and choose the Room and Board and I just got off the phone with both the IRS and the Rotc office at his school . IT IS NOT TAXED !!! Karin

ridiculas shut down My son has been ripped twice last year he was awaiting a waiver for his eyes was ridiculas DR they sent him to wrote he was basically blind. Common sense he had been in ROTC for a year . Summited paper work January 3rd was still not approved before sequester he was at...

Sequester My son lost his scholarship he was awaiting a waiver. Thing is the eye dr contracted by the army never wrote his corrected vision. Hello he is blind as a bat without glasses or contacts. He applies for waiver jan 20 was approved march 20 . I was also told by a major this is obvious a...

Thanks for the answer . I really think he can have a better idea after we meet with an admission rep. I think what he really missed out on was he was not a team captain fro any sport he switched from soccer to footbal after his dad passed as his dad was the soccer coach JV and my son was V but...

Just a word of caution those classes can be tough. My son did the same thing and did good but, I can say he had lots of days of staying up until 2am after practice or a game.

Nick, Thanks so much !!! I really feel like we were not on top of things these past two applications as my husband sons dad died suddenly right next to him from a medical error. As with anything time has healed and it seems since this winter we are all adjusted so this time around will be much...

Thanks you just restated what he has heard from ROTC at school. They are willing to nominate him but also told him we are so glad you are staying here for another year. Apparantly he makes PT fun and is a motivator there but my son loves to workout. He just received an award for getting the...

Nick, Thanks for the support I am not wanting to sound like my poor kid nonsense this was his second try. He did what he was told he needed to do and then some. That is why he really wants a personal meeting with admissions. He told me he does want to apply again and yes he will ask for ROTC...

What I heard was they held a few including my son as they thought they were going to be able to make them offers and then some kids accepted whom they had thought were going to say no and the class size was reduced. So as I told my son if you want you can go through this again and you should be...

Okay I have a few questions. My son is reapplying for his thrid time. I give him credit as he did all they told him to do last year and then some and was waitlisted and then received a QNS. He is baffled as are his ROTC leaders another ROTC kid was admitted with much lower everything then my...
