My son also was a 3rd board winner- he received his last week in the mail. It’s an impressive presentation! Yours will probably come soon! Don’t know if it is alphabetical but last name N.

Is the dodmets site down? We are just getting "the site cannot be reached" / "www.dodmets.com took too long to respond" error. thanks

DS won a 3-year at the university he ED’d to/is going to. His university had said they upgrade 3-years to 4, and match room and board. He is so excited! So happy for him. Red banner still there saying results by 4/4. Congrats to everyone, and if you don’t get it in this round, don’t lose...

In the Army ROTC FAQ from the application site (which my DS had downloaded, so we can still access it even though the application site is down), it says ‘Applicants selected to receive a scholarship will be notified between two and four weeks after the board concludes.’ I realize after past...

My DS met with Army ROTC ROO (and cadets in some cases) at four universities he was visiting and considering - during the touring/exploration phase, to learn more about each school’s Army ROTC program, about Army ROTC in general and about careers/life as an Army officer. I don’t know how...

DS said his application status changed today to ‘Boarded’. First time applicant (did not apply for October boards). Last name starts with N.
