Hi Anguswarrior, Assuming this happened rather recently and your buddy is still within his appeal period, please encourage your buddy to at least consult with a lawyer who is familiar with disenrollment. He should be able to have an initial chat about his situation and get feedback on whether...

I share the pain in this post. DS is very close to graduating but for the past year seems to have fallen apart. We don't know why. He's only got 3 courses to go and GPA is still above a 2.5 but last spring was horrible and this fall is looking risky although not all grades are in yet. Summer...

Also -- be careful when choosing nursing schools. Many large universities operate their nursing programs in a way that students aren't fully accepted until the end of their sophomore year (decisions are made based on the freshman and 1st semester sophomore year). Until then students are...

My DS is also on the 4.5 year program and won't commission until next December. Typically his battalion commissions several cadets at that time but he did have to work with his cadre to get it approved. He tells me that at his school it is fairly common for certain majors, particularly...

Thank you jbm02 -- he's checked his spam and there was nothing there. At this point it is up to him to decide to check with cadre but I would say his outlook isn't good. He's got a couple of things working against him. The good thing is that he has a Plan B and will now be able to get a...

OK -- this is likely a couple of naive questions but have all CULP assignments gone out? Do cadets receive "you were not chosen" notifications? I ask because my DS hasn't received any notifications yet but I also haven't seen anyone post that his DS/DD was assigned to the geography that was my...

While the advice above is good, also be aware that cadres can and do change and when that happens the program can also change. That happened at my DS's school and he has been less than thrilled with the program since. I think he likes most of his instructors individually but has found things...

Guess my DS's HR person has a great working relationship with his school. His tuition has already been paid and classes don't start for 2 weeks. Or the school just knows it is coming and marks it paid and then handles it behind the scenes.

Do you know if that included priority mail too? My DS (also 7th reg) just asked me to send him something rather important (can't believe he actually wrote a letter) and I was going to send it priority mail.

Ha! Where do I join? I just commented about that last night because I'm fretting about the fact that pictures for my DS's regiment are not being posted. :rolleyes: Makes me wonder how our parents survived? When I went to college there was one phone in the dorm hallway. If I didn't want to...

Another thing to think about -- since you indicate you that are pre-vet I am guessing that you are planning to take a science heavy load of courses. Keep in mind that at most schools that means labs and a 1 credit lab can often involve as much work as the 3 credit lecture. So if graduating...

Ugh! This whole string is depressing. I sent a package off yesterday to the 24 Rhineland address (used the one my cadet texted me). I hope it gets there. Then learning all this about the PT test -- I know mine was counting on the PT test on helping his score as he is at LDAC a year early...

So I wonder what will happen to the rising MS2s and MS3s both of whom will not have an opportunity to attend the LTC-esque camp between their MS1 and MS2 years. I had the impression from my cadet that the FTXs were a part of preparing for LDAC and if those cadets miss both the new summer...

Does anyone know how long it takes a package to find a cadet? My cadet seems to think that any package I send won't find it's way to him.

Well one thing about being an originator of a thread is that I can find it in the list of things I started........ http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=36099

Clarkson -- do you know if Physician's Assistant school could also qualify for an ed delay? I realize any delay would need to be approved -- but just wondering if that would be considered under the medical banner? Thank you!

Thank you to all. Sounds like LDAC graduation is not something that I need to build summer vacation plans around.

I am trying to do some planning for the summer and I have a couple of questions about LDAC that I'm hoping folks can help with. 1. Typically when do cadets find out when they are scheduled to attend LDAC? 2. I think I've seen that there is some sort of ceremony at the end of LDAC. Is...

My DS is a nursing major in ROTC and also chose to join a fraternity. It has proven to be quite challenging. In addition to some of the considerations mentioned above, here are a couple of things I would think about: 1. How good a student are you? Nursing is a challenging major and...

No -- he simply came home from the vision exam and said he was color-blind. A couple of weeks later got his notice that he was medically qualified. As Kinnem pointed out -- this is AROTC. Other branches have different rules. I will also note that my DS's color deficiency is probably...
