    Great critique on the service academies

    He is also wrong about the DUI's. A DUI is a one way ticket out of both ROTC and the SA's. Also they both have the same alcohol policy. Its 2 strikes and your out. Also it makes sense that SA cadets get paid a lot more because they are always training and doing things whereas ROTC has their...

    USAFA application

    okay highly unusual. School systems should be more standardized cause GPA seems to be meaning less and less. For example his on a 6.0 scale while the valdictorian of our school has a 4.1 with 7 AP classes. Some schools have a 2.5 weighting on AP and a 1.1 on honors while schools like mine have...

    I live in MD and visited both dethachments. They are both outstanding detachments for ROTC. It depends on what your want to do. If you want to be in infantry or artillary or the like then AROTC is for you, if you want to be a pilot then go AFROTC. They are both award winning programs with...

    Questions?

    I was told I should put on weight for BCT. im 6 flat and weigh around 170 with shoes. I orginally thought that sounds ridiculous to put on weight for BCT. Will we really burn that much calories that it matters?
