Got it. Thank you for your help.

Whats the difference ebtween EN and EN(D)?

Someone posted this PDF regarding Army ROTC branch selection in another thread. http://www.career-satisfaction.army.mil/pdfs/ROTC_BRADSO_Briefing_slides.pdf Is there a list somewhere of the branch abbreviations as listed on page #5? I can guess AV = Aviation, IN = Infantry, but some of the...

Just one other thing to consider; don't underestimate the possibility of injuries during basic and / or AIT. Getting hurt, or some other incident which causes you to get held-over, could mess up your schedule and college start date.

Very well said. And exactly right. As a matter of fact, it is rarely as I think it should be. That's so that I am reminded as to who is really in control :thumb:

Sheesh. All the time and effort I put into may last post, and then I see this one. Your one sentance summarized my thought precisely. I'll go sit in the corner now and be quiet. :wink:

I fully understand where you are coming from. I also fully understand everyone making their own way and choices that are best for them. Most of my life has been spent following the less travelled path, and me and my family are, by far, the better for it. I just felt that the "bird in the hand...

Been thinking about this one overnight. My tendancy would be to think you are both crazy too :biggrin:. Is the first choice school really that much better that you would turn down a full merit scholarship, a sure thing, to the second choice school? A full merit scholarship plus a chance to...

You mean we should worry that a broken arm or some other injury at the wrong time could cause him to lose his scholarship?

My son was offered and accepted a 3 year ROTC scholarship from the January board. I was surpised upon reading the conditions that only (1) a change in medical status, and/or (2) an arrest or traffic violation with a fine of $250.00 or greater could cause the scholarship to be revoked. Am I...

That is what I needed. Thank you for taking the time to post the link. :thumb:

I dont mean to revive an outdated thread, but I could use some help on this very same topic. I am having trouble locating either of these documents online. Can someone please provide me with a link or point me in the right direction? I can find the CC pamphlet but not the appendix.

FYI for January board scholarship recipients, my son's scholarship offer arrived in the mail today. Letter dated March 1st, reply required by March 31st.

Is this automatic or do we need to initiate the transfer request prior?

Does anyone know the process for this? And what factors affect the likelihood of it taking place? Is there a chance of losing the scholarship if you attempt the transfer and that doesnt work out? NMS*17, have you found out anything? :confused:
