    Downsizing Contracted AROTC

    No no, not that bad. Just didn't stick to my workout plan as much as I had planned. Once I get acclimated to the altitude again I should be able to decently on the run.

    Word of Warning

    This is a warning for anyone in AROTC who is not currently contracted. At my battalion they have started to drop people from the program if they were in their second year and are not contracted. Also, they have announced that only 20 slots will be open next year for people to contract. The...

    After rotc

    Hey man guess what, I consider myself to be liberal. That doesn't mean that I will hesitate any less than you will when you have target in your sights and it comes down to it, but I don't relish the fact that I very well might take someones life one day. As an officer your job is to lead men...

    January 4, 2011 AROTC Board

    My FTX is coming up this weekend. It's gonna be a blast! Quite literally, when we first get there we get to spend time on an M4 range and a machine gun range :guns4: . We also get to use blanks for the STX lanes which should add a sense of realism to the situations. There's a rumor going...

    Class of 2015

    Does anyone have any tips on how to lessen shin splints when doing ruck marches? I'm good for about a mile or two then they start killing me and I start to drop back slowly. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Where were you 10 years ago today?

    When the planes hit I was in my third grade classroom learning about the cardinal directions. My teacher got called out of the room and some people from the main office came in and they were all crying. My teacher came back into the room and she was crying too. She tried to pull herself...

    Amputee earns title of 'Sergeant Airborne'

    Having a leader who has gone through something like that and is still Army Strong really does motivate everyone around him. My PMS at my school is Major Rozzelle, the first soldier since Vietnam to return to the same battlefield that he lost his limb on. We were doing 30" 60's and whenever we...

    Disappointing Army AFPT Scores

    Less came actually, there were at least 8 scholarship kids that failed the test and only me and another went, and I don't know how many non-scholarships failed. And that I am, I like it soooooo much more than high school. I actually enjoy most of my classes and am excited to go! :biggrin:

    Disappointing Army AFPT Scores

    There are some extenuating circumstances depending on where you go to school. I personally went from very close to sea level to 5600 feet. Even during the push ups I could feel the lack of oxygen. I ended up failing the run, as did some other out of state cadets. I was running a 14:45 in NY...
