It really depends, think about it this way: if you are the admissions officer, would you want to have to go through an email chain for one of your 2000 (shot in the dark) applicants about them simply signing up for a club? They want to see stuff that shows leadership, commitment, and excellence...

A lot of Florida districts have had their nomination pipelines delayed a bit due to the damage from Irma. I know my district in north Florida has been pushed back a week to accommodate for the lost time.

Capt MJ and USMCGrunt, thank you, both. I figured I wouldn't be doing much running in boots and uniform but I figured I might want to try it to push myself a little. I was a cross country runner in high school and I have some football friends whom I run with so I figured running in pants and...

Long time no see SAF. I just recently started NROTC at my backup school and figured it would be a good idea to get accustomed to running in boots and pants. My question is: am I allowed to run in my NWU pants and my boots with a PT shirt, or would that be a uniform violation? I sent an email to...
