Does anyone have any advice as to what time we should get there, things to bring that we might not have thought of, and where we should park and watch the parade in New Market? Thanks so much!

VMI has posted pictures on Facebook from Matriculation through today (I believe - based on what I saw on the webcam)! :biggrin: Search for "VMI Cadet Life" and look for "VMI Hell Week." These pictures are different from what's on the website. I was able to see a couple of pictures of my DS!

So now the search is in full swing for XL twin flat white sheets for VMI. I have seen on old posts that some people bought sheets at www.linensupplier.com. Have you been happy with these? Are they a decent quality? Do they seem like they will last for 4 years? We are at the point where we...

I know that the Rats-to-be will issued their boots and low quarters, but I didn't see any mention of them needing a particular kind/color of socks for STP. I know that they will need black dress socks and black boot socks for the fall, but what do the kids typically wear during STP? Thanks.

My DS had gotten paperwork to have his DoDMBERB physical done, and he has been medically qualified. Should that be reflected on the AROTC scholarship status page for medical? Right now it says it's not received. It's been a couple of weeks since we received the qualification letter from...

My DS has to have an echocardiogram to determine what kind of heart murmur he has. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to going to a private doctor instead of a DoDMERB contracted doctor or a military installation? His primary care physician has already granted a referral because she wants...

OK, I'll rise to the challenge and start this thread! I'm trying so hard to keep that day out of my head, but it keeps coming back! :eek: DS has been accepted to VMI, North Georgia and the Citadel, but plans on attending VMI. We are IS, so that is a huge blessing, but the scholarship has so...

DS just got his appointment to VMI in the mail today! :jump1: He is beyond excited - this was his first choice school and it's where his heart is. Thanks to everyone here for all your help!

Does anybody know approximately the time that VMI starts sending out ED letters, whether accepted, rolled over to RD, or otherwise? :confused: DS sent application in during the first week or two of Sep. Thanks!

On the AROTC page on the VMI website it says, "Qualified non-scholarship cadets may contract during their sophomore, junior or senior year." My question is, how are you able to contract as a sophomore? :confused: Thanks for any input.

DS is finishing his junior year of high school and plans on applying ED to VMI. Last fall he attended the spend the night program, and that's what cemented his desire to go there. However, we didn't make any appointments with anyone from admissions or ROTC because we didn't know that might be...

A couple of years ago DS was diagnosed with inappropriate tachycardia (it may be a longer name but I can't remember). He was seen by a pediatric cardiologist, had tests run and was determined to be at no risk at all and was cleared to do anything he wanted. There was nothing structurally wrong...

I found this forum by "accident" a few months ago, and it has been a gold mine! I come from a line army officers: grandfather, father, uncle, and two cousins. My older son is enlisted in the army, and my youngest son wants to continue the army officer line. He has his heart set on VMI and...
