    I'm torn b\w Airforce and Navy ROTC.

    I have to agree with Pima's opinion on this one. Someone thinking of running for political office down the road while still in high school shows a lack of prioritizing their goals. If the poster's ultimate goal is to be a politician then choose a different career path. If you are already...

    DD does not have to worry about branching because she will be going into the Nurse Corp. She will be competing for post assignment though. She completed LDAC after her second year of school due to the grueling schedule nurses have their last two years.

    DD got back from LDAC a week ago. She said that NCO's were the graders of her APFT and that the one she had was very fair in his grading of pushups and situps.

    Nursing scholarship...

    My DD just completed her MSIII year during her sophmore year and will be attending LDAC next week. Next year she will be a MS4 so as not to waste the training she gets at LDAC but for pay purposes she will get paid as a MSIII. As far as PT goes all the nurses in her Battalion are required to...

    SCU or OSU?

    I have no input on OSU but I am familar with Santa Clara University. Santa Clara is a private university located 10 minutes to San Jose airport so air travel should not pose a problem. I believe that SCU was the top army Rotc unit this year in the 8th Brigade. Stanford Rotc cadets train at...
