I am an Army ROTC cadet and I need to register for an AKO account. One of the first questions they ask is what my Pay Entry Base Date is. This would lead me to believe that for an ROTC cadet, that would be the date of contracting. I was wondering what other ROTC cadets have put for this or if...

AROTC at Cal Poly- San Luis Obispo. Go Army, Go Stangs!

Suppose you get a stress injury from running about a month out from starting school, what happens to you? Is your scholarship at stake even if you see a sports injury specialist and a physical therapist to try to correct the problem as much as possible? And what do you do if aforementioned...

Like Riroka said, your son seems to have most of what they are looking for, except a sport. When school starts up again in the fall, it won't be too late to join a team. Cross country and football run during the fall, which is the time that applications are usually sent out and interviews are...

I don't know about Navy, but here's what I can tell you about my experience with Army: When I did my interview last fall, the Major interviewing me said that they were looking for someone who was a "SAL"- a student, an athlete, and a leader. He also added that they wanted to see if someone...

Can you do a study abroad program if you're in ROTC (Army, specifically)? Are there national rules about this, or does it depend on your battalion? If you are allowed to do study abroad, you pay tuition for the program, correct? I don't see why ROTC would want to spend more money to send...

Thank you; I have sent an email.

I know this is a form about DoDMERB, but I figure it would be alright to ask a question about the DoDMETS site, right? I got a medical remedial and selected Option 1 (through Concorde) and was given one provider to choose from. I called today and the first appointment they had available was...

I've been following this, uh, turn of events, shall we say, throughout the day, and I can't help but feel that I am partially the target of TrueCadet22's outburst. Yes, I said I want to veterinarian, but has it ever occurred to you that I might not want to do so in a private practice? The...

I was awarded a scholarship in December to Cal Poly, my top choice that I got into Early Decision. I am majoring in Animal Science and hope to become a veterinarian. SAT: 2150 (1400 M/CR) ACT: 33 GPA: 3.26 unweighted, all honors or AP classes since sophomore year Sports: Track and Field...
