    OPAT Impressions

    From the information I was given. It is a commissioning requirement to take it for cadets FY 17 and above. FY 16 cadets, like myself, are only required to take it if they are branching Infantry/Armor. The rest of the FY 16 cadets will take it as a BOLC graduation requirement. Still no scoring...

    OPAT Impressions

    Took the OPAT along with a few other classmates that are branching Infantry/Armor this past Friday and thought I'd post to share insights and answer any questions. It was administered just like an APFT, with demonstrations, and timed rests between events. I had no prior experience with any of...

    Army ROTC OPAT

    Story does a great job but heres the down and dirty. The OPAT consists of 4 events, standing long jump, medicine ball throw, dead lift (using hex bar) and beep test. The standing long jump is simple, standing with feet shoulder width apart, jump as far as you can and land standing upright...

    Boys State: Attendance is good enough???

    I attended Boys State and learned a lot about myself. I actually remember reading about it on this website years back, asked my school, and local post if I could apply. Long story short, the experience was amazing and its a great leadership program for high school students. While attending...

    AROTC Accessions coming soon....?

    I never fully expected the exact dates for component or branches just like previous years. I'd expect branching to come though as late as the week or two before Christmas.

    AROTC Accessions coming soon....?

    Eventually it'll happen, is essentially what I'm going with. I'm more concerned with doing well senior year and providing a solid base for the years to come.

    Interviewing w/#1 choice -AROTC

    Back during my scholarship application I interviewed with PMS at a school I didn't apply to nor did I look too far into their program. Bottomline I was awarded a 3 year scholarship, so from my stand point this had no bearing on the interview or application process. One important thing to note...

    What does weekend AROTC training look like?

    Were all the cadets allowed to participate in the helicopter ride? If so, do you know what channels your DS's battalion went through to arrange that. My person battalion has tried, since we are close to an active duty base, but the response we received was only contracted cadets would be allowed...

    I am a current MS3 in AROTC, and last year we had two stellar cadets that were denied academy entrance and attended my college. Some background, one came in with a 4 year AROTC scholarship, and the other was awarded a 3 year. They both reapplied in the second semester of their freshman year (in...

    CULP 2015

    I am curious if anyone has heard of when the FY 2015 list will be released. I understand last year the list made it out for my brigade on 3DEC, with cadets receiving orders by the 20th. That being said, will they extend the timeline on specific pre-deployment tasks that would be due NLT 15DEC...

    CULP 2015

    With the current CULP applications done with, I was a bit curious about the different dimensions they added this year, compared to last year. Will the addition of the Airborne School, security clearance and what type of scholarship questions effect OML and who gets slots?

    Freshmen on AROTC Ranger Team

    9 team members, with having at LEAST one from each class and a female. Since freshman are typically inexperienced with competition, land nav, and everything ROTC, typically only one is chosen in order to fulfill the requirement of having a freshman. This doesn't mean more can't be picked...
