Son was DQ'ed for a grade one diastolic dysfunction. Concerned, we went to our GP who referred us to a cardiologist. That cardiologist did another echocardiogram and explained that the initial results did not account for the fact that son is a competitive distance swimmer. Cardiologist fully...

Son is a 4 yr Army ROTC winner. He was sent to a cardiologist for an echocardiogram last week because the physician doing his initial physical thought he heard a murmur. The cardiologist said there's no evidence of a murmur whatsoever. He noted that the peaks and valleys on the echo might look...

Third son will be joining the Crimson Tide Battalion for Fall 2021. Any others out there? Back in 2014, one of our other sons found his future roommate on this forum. Hoping to do the same now.

So I used to be active on this board when my two oldest sons were in ROTC at Alabama. They have graduated, commissioned, and are living at Ft Benning and Ft Bliss! Now our youngest son is ready to apply for the ROTC scholarship. Have there been any significant changes that we should be aware...

We are about to order ASUs and would like to know if anyone has experience/preference between the "premium" package and the "professional" package. Thanks in advance for any advice and information!

Rumor has it today could be the day... Let us know if you hear anything and best of luck to those waiting!

Would someone PLEASE explain to me the new procedures and why this isn't going to be a giant clusterf@*k. Cadre and HR are telling sons one thing while people at GoArmyEd are telling them something completely different. To make matters MUCH worse, they can't submit requests for payment until one...

FY17 timeline shows that today is the day for component release. Has anyone heard? Any other dates mentioned?

DS leaves for Liberia in less than ten days. He's been given lots of shots, but little guidance on his mission. Checking the CDC yellow book, Liberia is listed as HIGH for relative risk to US travelers, as malaria is found in all areas. So, should I take him to our doctor here before he leaves...

Culp assignments are out. DS is headed to Liberia this summer.

Exactly one week after his physical, son is qualified. I am amazed at the speed and efficiency! Often readers of this forum only hear horror stories. I just wanted to post a positive one.

In case it gets thrown into your spam file, CC just announced that due to weather and other delays, the deadline to submit the Notice of Intent to Accept AROTC Scholarship has been extended. The new deadline is March 5th. This would have been great to know yesterday, when we overnight mailed...

Is it possible? Realistically.

I sympathize with all of you posters and lurkers who may still be at "Boarded." DS is still there. Last year our oldest was awarded scholarship offers to four of his six schools. We understand the highs and lows of this process. I'd just like to encourage everyone that in our experience...

Second son decided to apply for an AROTC scholarship. While filling out the form, he put in 4.0 (he has a 4.16 weighted GPA). He has never gotten anything other than an A in his life. Anyway, his Dashboard is now showing Academic Information "Approved" because I electronically sent his ACT...

When are cadets typically issued winter PTs? It's been in the upper 30s and getting colder in the mornings....

My son is currently a junior and very interested in the CGA. He's also a competitive swimmer and as such, the month of July is crucial in his long course training. It leads up to the regional championships (held July 21-24) and Zones the week after, culminating with Nationals or Junior Nationals...

How soon after being notified of a scholarship offer do they have to complete the physical? Is it after notification or acceptance?

My son is currently applying for an AROTC Scholarship. As a home schooler in a state without equal access, it is often a struggle to find opportunities to lead and serve. As a result, we feel that his resume is lacking compared to his public school counterparts. Do the boards look at quality...
