I am currently a midshipman at a large midwestern university with a 4 year LREC scholarship. My concentration is Latin America/Spanish. What specific questions do you have? Feel free to PM me.

Thanks all. Touching toes, run and sit ups are a breeze for me but push ups are not coming easily. I'm doing my best though and am confident I'll get there.

Awesome, thanks. I can definitely get satisfactory for push ups. Have a great day!

Hello all. Been working very hard to keep/get in shape for my PFA in the fall. My run and sit up scores are quite good, and I am working very hard on push ups. My question is this and it's a bit difficult to ask. Is "probationary" considered passing the PFA if I score it in only one...

I'm really excited for this. Looks like a great start to my NROTC career. Anyone else besides who I have talked to heading to University of Illinois?

Yah, I had no issues, I went straight to qualified for Army. So I am good to go. Great news! Thanks.

Hello all, Today, since winning my NROTC scholarship, my DODMERB page updated with " Application added." If I am already qualified for Army ROTC is it pretty much automatic to be qualified for both? I'm not color blind and my vision is correctable to 20/20. Thanks! ZackL

Okay. Just wondering about how it all works still. Unrestricted line officer is A OK. And to Gettingmoregreyhair--thats awesome! If you feel comfortable with it, could you ask her to message me on facebook so I can ask a few questions about life in the unit? PM me if you think that's okay...

I know. That's why I was so surprised. AD is what I want to do. I want the military to be my career for at least my service commitment and possibly more. I feel as though I can say this, having grown up surrounded my military culture in my family. As far as my desires for jobs go, I really...

This is an excellent point

Hello all, Thanks so much for the quick replies. I think it's starting to be clear based on some things. My major is journalism (with emphasis on public affairs). Honestly, I am not dead set on using my major in the military. I chose journalism because it will provide a great foundation...

Hello all, Before I start, I know that this is a decision that only I can make. That being said, any input would be nice. I am in a very good situation, and I want to make the best and most informed choice. I applied for an Army ROTC scholarship and was awarded one this past March...
