    SMP/split option process

    Thanks for the information, it's been very helpful. About the GI Bill- would this mean that I would ineligible for it, period, if I didn't attend basic/AIT? Say if I wanted to get a grad degree later, would it be possible to have it paid for through the GI Bill?

    SMP/split option process

    Hello again, all. I have a few more questions. Some of the options I've been considering is the SMP or split option program during ROTC. While I've found some information about it, there are a few things that have been left unclear to me. For sake of clarity, let's say that I have 2 years...

    2nd degree and ROTC

    @dunninla-- thanks, very helpful. @Pima-- thanks again. This has been great. One other overall question-- from what I understand, ROTC makes up about ~50% of Army officership needs, leaving something like 20 or 30% from OCS. This past Sept boards saw about 6 out of 50 candidates get...

    2nd degree and ROTC

    @Jcleppe and dunninla: thanks very much for the breakdown of how ROTC cadets are considered. Are there any more specific stats to attach to some of those numbers? Like average GPA for this past year to be considered in the top 10%, what scores they had in LDAC, etc? @Pima: thanks again for...

    2nd degree and ROTC

    @clarksonarmy-- sir, are you attached to Clarkson in NY? I graduated from Potsdam. Thanks very much for your thoughts, I had forgotten about becoming enlisted if I didn't pass OCS. @ Pima-- thank you! You just brought something up I had been wondering about for ages: Organizational Management...

    2nd degree and ROTC

    Pima, again, you bring up some great points for me to consider, and definitely to do some research on. The idea is that I would seek a 2nd BA at my first university, where I hopefully haven't been gone long enough for them to change all of the undergrad requirements. I need to do more research...

    2nd degree and ROTC

    Thank you for that point about the 2nd BA-- I would be looking for a 2 year scholarship, at any rate. But thank you for pointing it out as possibly doing it from my own pocket. I'm 24, graduated magna cum laude with a 3.67 with loads of other stuff, and I'm physically fit. 1.) I've worked on...

    2nd degree and ROTC

    @Pima: thanks so much for your prompt and thoughtful reply. I'll do my best to respond. Here we go-- >Why isn't OTS at the top of your list and from there use TAP to pay for your Master's? This is the first option I will be pursuing. However, OCS slots are also very competitive right now...

    2nd degree and ROTC

    I've been looking into commissioning as an officer into the Army, and one of the sources I've been considering is ROTC. I already have a 1st BA, and graduated in May '10. At the moment, I'm employed in an overseas job, and probably won't be seeking a commission until my contract is finished...
