    Air Force ROTC Commissioning Options

    Pima, I appreciate your opinion. I did not sign rated paperwork. Flying has never been a desire of mine. Additionally, I recieved a nonrated, nontech slot to FT, so going rated is not even an option for me.

    Air Force ROTC Commissioning Options

    I was wondering if anyone has heard any word as far as commissioning options for AFROTC, class of 2016? As many are probably aware of, last semester, those commissioning in May 2015 are/were given the option to commission into the Reserve/ Guard. I believe this is an effort to reduce the number...

    Citadel question

    jct95, adding on to what Bruno said, if SEALs is the goal then enlisting may be the better option. I am in no way acting as if I am an expert on SEAL stuff but from what I have heard, it is actually easier to make it through BUD/S as enlisted because not only do the officer SEAL candidates...

    Pros and Cons of The Citadel vs. VMI

    Nick0726, I just finished knob year at The Citadel. If you have any questions don't hesistate to ask. But at the end of day, both schools are going to give you an experience that will challenge you beyond anything you have ever done before, both physcially and mentally. I am not exactly...

    AFROTC ICSP Results

    Pima got it right on the dot, again about the scholarship. I highly considered applying for the CSO/ABM scholarship, but eventually decided against because it would limit my job choices down to one. Also, it just seemed like there were too many risky variables (i.e. not passing CSO AFOQT...

    AFROTC ICSP Results

    My det recieved 10 total ICSPs. This seems like more than the average. 9 were given to 100s and 1 was given to a 200. I know 3 of the 9 were awarded through the express scholarhship program this year, which obligates the recipents to be be either an ABM or CSO after graduation.

    Dunninla, You're right I don't know and I am just guessing. It's just pure speculation.

    ROTC in College, What to bring?

    Take my opinion for what its worth as I am an incoming freshman too, but the less unnecessary "gear" you have like knives, flashlights, multi-tools, etc the better. The more stuff you show up with that is not required, the more you may get chewed out by the upperclassmen. It's like the...

    Early Decision Application for The Citadel/VMI?

    A 980 SAT is on the low side for acceptance to both schools. However, scores are not everything. Athletics, extracurricular, and service hours all play a part in the application process. I highly recommend you take the the test again to see if you can get a higher score. Try to get a...

    Leadership program

    Although my school paid for it, it was not worth it. Yes it may get looked at on a resume since it has the word "leadership" in it (I say that with apprehension), but the seminar themselves did not teach me anything about leadership. I felt as if half the times we were making a craft or playing...

    VMI Overnight

    If she can get a leadership position on her tennis or softball team or in student government that would help increase her chances. I would also encourage her to try to take the ACT if she is unable to improve the SAT. Many that do not do too hot on the SAT do well on the ACT.

    Citadel vs. North Georgia- need to make a decision

    I am not an alum, but I will be attending The Citadel this Fall and have visited both schools. From your post, it seems like you have weighed the schools like this The Citadel:better reputation, less chicks NG: little less better reputation, more chicks I assume you are a guy since you...

    AFROTC EA stats

    I am not trying to change the thread subject, but I have a quick question. Why are standardized test scores taken into account when attempting to obtain a spot? It seems as if the AFOQT is a suitable replacement, especially since the ACT and SAT was taken in high school. I am just trying to...

    Citadel acceptance- Class of 2016

    I will be attending the Citadel Success Institute this summer in the July term. When I did my pre-knob in November I talked with a couple cadets about it and they said it is well worth doing. They mentioned getting some credits out of the way is really helpful because you can focus more on the...

    VMI Letter and the ROTC programs

    I received a letter from VMI today notifying all those attending for the Class of 2016 will not necessarily be able to pick which branch they do for ROTC due to downsizing. The letter basically stated that those who either have a scholarship or paln to contract with the armed forces will have a...

    Late Final Transcripts

    I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine they would not let you send them in after the date if it is the your high school that is keeping you from making the deadline. The date is most likely there so they don't get people who procrastinate to send them in to late. But again, I am not...

    VMI vs. The Citadel dilemma

    Yesterday, I received my acceptance letter from VMI. Thus, I have to make the decision between the Citadel and and VMI. For the past couple of months have thought that the Citadel was where I was going to go. However, I think that was mostly due to the Citadel accepting me first. Nonetheless, I...
