Thanks and I agree GO CUBBIES!

I talked to the Assistant Professor of Military Science & Scholarships and Enrollment Officer/Army ROTC Department at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign a few wks ago and asked that question specifically and he said "no an instate school was not required" Ugh I hate to go to this...

Exactly what I was looking for THANKS

nice link-thanks!

Long time user, old time poster. (mom of USNA 2017 and AROTC Grad out of WashU 2018) Every year I volunteer at the high school's parent-to-parent forum and man the table called "Service Academies and ROTC Scholarships) I talked to the PMS of U of I and got the latest Army Changes -and did some...

You are ranked nationally, the higher rank you are the more likely to get your MOS. My son was top ten of all AROTC in US and was guaranteed wherever he wanted. I think top 10% are guaranteed as well. In other words get ranked as high as you can and then you will be more likely to get your...

I was recently told that when listing your schools to attach to your National ROTC Scholarship you must have one in state school listed. Is that correct?

@Full Metal Bulldog Great links!!! Thanks

jcleppe, your son got a civilian job while waiting to go to BOLC? This sounds silly I'm sure but do they start getting paid when they graduate or when they attend BOLC?

Omg I didn't understand so much of what you posted LOL! Son is top ten (not top ten percent) And I could be totally wrong about location being guaranteed. He did not tell me that, I just thought it. I didn't understand: FORSCOM post/unit, in a BCT or Sustainment Brigade, just because that is...

LOL no, Mattis thats funny. He does automatically get his 1st choice in branch and 1st choice of duty station based on OML. But it would be wayyyyyy more fun if our last name was indeed Mattis. (of course I could be wrong about that, I'm not sure he actually told me that, I think I read it...

while 20 is the limit, usna 2017 had THREE color blind waivers. Waivers are saved for target demographic applicants. Iday you retake your colorblind test (you CAN get sent home at this time). Junior year you take a pre commissioning physical, and again the end of senior year.

@SA Hopeful My oldest graduated from USNA my second is red/green colorblind so didnt even waste time with anything with water. USAFA is not quite as strict actually (contrary to the above poster) However-your AF service selection will be severely limited. My red/green colorblind son is...

Thanks Jcleppe (as always!) - More questions.... He automatically gets his #1 top choice and his #1 duty station. Does that mean he can still be detailed if it is automatic? The detailing is confusing to me. I have looked it up but it is so different from Navy that I cant figure it out. Also...

My son, who gets relatively bothered when I ask too many questions...and then gives five word answers when 20 would have done better, is commissioning in fiscal yr2018. Id like some basic knowledge before he comes home for Thanksgiving so I can ask some educated questions. .....also I have...

THANKS!!!!

Your best "hook" is coming from an under represented area/demographic.

Just curious--- Can someone explain or point out a good reference (I've had no luck with Google on this) the organizational system & responsibilities within the duties of the ROTC Cadets. IE: Battalion Commander, XO ---> Is this consistent within all Battalions or change depending on the...

I feel like I know some of the details of which you speak and here are some thoughts: 1.) listen to kinnem's advice and dont listen to anyone here 2.) listen to cb7893 the needs of the AF come first and you may want cyber ops but you may fly drones. asked and answered. 3.) IMHO Airforce...

SUBS & CYBER WARFARE OK Here is our personal up to day current info that will answer many of the questions and speculation here. Back ground I am a long time poster and friend of Service Academy Forum. I havent been on in so long though I forgot my password for a sec. I only knew about this...
