Yes he has completed osut at ft benning ga. His iunit is at or over strength so he may be able to separate without much of a problem. We are scheduled to have another conference with his PMS during Christmas break. As of today there are 12 cadets that are looking at dropping ROTC because of...

Yep they are still recruiting kids using the SMP to get them hooked in. That is the sad part. Its great I'd you want to stay guard but they should tell you upfront that you cannot compete for AD.
