Probably just MS4s and cadre checking their berets to make sure they are properly formed.

I think you were the one that made the derail about F bombs.

The rankings are based purely off the percentage of the student body that serves in ROTC. Its not a ranking of the quality of program.

Reporting a fellow cadet for responsible drinking while underage is a great way to ostrasize oneself from their class. Is it wrong? Yes. Is it hurting anyone? If it is then by all means have a conversation, whatever. But blowing the whistle on classmates is going to come across as petty and self...

I would be surprised if midshipmen who fail/drop out of nuke interviews or programs would then get their first choice branch like Aviation. At that point it probably becomes needs of the Navy.

Honestly, you have been giving poor advice on this topic. Letting your chain of command within the unit know is one thing. Advising a cadet who didnt get their first choice of branch to hold out or make waves within the big Navy is an entirely different issue. All these young men and women who...

I'm simply relaying what was briefed to us by our HR rep and cadre. Make what you will of it. It seems that everything is up in the air right now.

Cadets comparing Ranger Challenge to being a ranger are bad enough, but an ROTC battalion is actually using those terms for their tryouts?

BRADSO or Branch of Choice for additonal AD time has been around for longer than this year. Also if memory serves correctly, your major has nothing to do with this program. http://www.career-satisfaction.army.mil/rotc_bradso.html

Just letting you know what the cadre are telling the cadets. Speculate all you want.

My bad. 300 slots, 700 applicants.

There WAS another board sometime last week according to my cadre. Something like 300 kids for 700 slots remaining.

The 2nd board was last Friday.

TS clearances are only started Senior year in AROTC.

The unit may require them to start it after contracting, but it has no bearing on scholarship payments.

I contracted and recieved tuition and stipend well before I submitted my security clearance.
