I honestly haven´t been on here in awhile. I have some updates, and some questions. I made it through Rookdom at Norwich University. I made it through first two years of AROTC, and have been rated proficient by MS-2 cadre. I have wrestled on the team, and done BJJ as extras. The only problem I...

Out of curiosity, what is CIET like on a daily basis? I have heard everything in-between, but no one has given me a straight,consistent answer. MS-3's at my school say it is mil-lab(gentle-man's course) for thirty days, while other cadets/commissioned officers say it is one of the hardest thing...

I am a 1st year Cadet at Norwich University. I got a 3.8 GPA for my first semester in Criminal Justice and a minor in Spanish. I am contracted as a four-year Scholarship Recipient(I have a CIET slot for this summer). I have an average of around 280 for PT scores; I also wrestle for the team...

My brother decided to follow a path of becoming a Nurse, in the Army or Air Force. I want to help him with his goal. I know of the process concerning the qualifications needed, and how boards and these scholarships work; however, I don't know so much of how the nursing world works and he what...

I have a question that I could not find a hint of an answer on this forum. Can one apply to USMA on a 4 year AROTC Scholarship? I am interested in USMA because I think I would be challenged there and you have no debt. I had to make a decision this fall as two interviews were on the same day. Is...

In the course of application I have won a AROTC and NROTC-MO Scholarship. I now will weigh these two options and will create a decision that will affect the rest of my life. I know some differences and similarities of the Army and Marine Corps but ultimately would desire feedback from people...

Congrats to all who received an appointment; I did not and want to investigate a better idea why? Out of curiosity what were the average statistics for the incoming class of 2019? I would like to know what the Academy chose. My test scores were on the lower end but would have made the middle 50%...

I heard back from my Marine Corps recruiters that I did receive a Scholarship on the 2nd Board. Due to the source of information, I am sure I got one but will I receive a letter in the mail? I got a letter from Cadet Command for my AROTC Scholarship giving me directions on what to do next...does...

I have a very off the wall question for this forum. I assume many of the individuals on this site deal with more personal, nonviolent ethical decisions(drugs, alcohol) on average. I would ask would taking life under the right circumstances have any backlash? Yesterday a stray pit almost killed...

In a decision for where and what I might want to do in terms of college, I want to know what the USCGA is about in terms of time off. From what I understand, a cadet will still have weekends like a normal college. I hear summers are shortened compared to a civilian college's summer. I want to...

I understand that the admission decisions will be given out by April 1st. My question is how will the academy notify me of their decision?(email,letter,etc)

Since I was in 7th grade I have been active in this sport and have competed. Does the USCGA have something similar to (jiu-jistu) this sport on campus I could participate in?

I take just the ACT for my college testing. I have gone from a 21 to a 25 in terms of composite. It is possible for me to have a partial scholarship with these scores and also what scores should I focus on getting up? I hear the military takes English and Math the most serious. Math:25...

Does anyone know when or could direct me to where the specific dates are for the scholarship? I tried to ask local Army recruiters but for some reason they don't know. I also looked on the portal but all it says is the deadline is Feb 28. I am not sure I should follow that as I know ROTC has...

I know for USMA you need three teacher recommendations (math, science, english) for your profile. I have chosen my officials, now I ask what do these individuals do when they have completed their letters? What website, software etc would they use to get this letter to academy admissions?

Is there a judo team at the academy? I would like to continue this sport not as a sport for my highschool years, but as a way of life. Since the academy is my aspiration I would like to see if both paths of life coliate. If so, is it just a club or a unified team? (I probably could make the team...

I know for ROTC and USMA the physical standards are different. I know the USMA uses the CFA. Does ROTC use the standard Army PFT test? If so my experience with it is the Army times a candidate for two minutes for the push ups and sit ups. Is this true? My stats for the APFT 2 minutes:65...

After some needed humiliation, a question came up that makes me very curious. Though, I don't doubt that JROTC can be a strong point for a candidate and can perpare people; I wonder how USMA/AROTC truly see it? The program is portayed as "if you fail here you wont fit in the military". Another...

My class rank has dropped from 15 to 25% .However its not because of bad grades.In fact in between that time my GPA rose....(3.7-3.8) I live in ancient country town ironically centered in the middle of wealth and affluence. Because its a podunk town all the local kids drop out in 10th grade...
