    This is true. Many ROTC programs delay the tuition payment to the school until up to 45 days into the semester. I feel one reason they do this is to see who is going to actually go forward. It also lets you know (for the new people) how serious they are that you pass the PT test.

    Alright... what does ROO stand for? I figure it is the recruiting officer at the ROTC unit but what does it really stand for?

    I will make this comment concerning you not doing well in math because it doesn't interest you. I'm sure the Army wants people who do well in what they are needed to do, not just what interests them. When tasked to do a job you don't want a person who could have done well at it but just didn't...

    I don't think he HAS to go until goes to in-process, right? He could accept the ROTC and go that route. Unless I am mistaken.

    SMP was the trail we were running down if ROTC didn't come through. It is my understanding that the ROTC command can give an SMP cadet an ROTC scholarship if things work out. I don't know the truth to that or what would have to happen but it is something I heard.

    I think what helped us was that we visited the school and unit when we were looking at schools. We scheduled an appointment and they spent a great deal of time speaking to my son and to myself. We then went back to that school to do his interview. I feel that since my son showed considerable...

    Unless I am mistaken there is a dorm where one of the floors has ROTC cadets only on it. And another floor that has other "types" of students. Not sure of all the details on that but it was something that the LTC we spoke to on campus mentioned.

    He did confirm it was a 4 year. I called him and he graciously called me back towards the end of the day. Four year award and UK kicks in a room and board package. He also has a merit kicker based on ACT and has a tryout with the baseball team (that will be a tough one to get).

    He has a maybe roomie already but that was before he got the scholarship. I see no reason they can't at least make contact to see what works out. We are from Ohio, how about you?

    Last name starts with 'HE'. His status changed. I don't know if it means 3 or 4 year but at least it is something.
