To add on, some Army units would instead prefer you contact their ROO instead of the PMS for the scholarship; their job is recruiting for ROTC (although they might also help with some enlisted recruiting as well), so they would definitely be knowledgeable on things you'd need. The interview...

Did you letter/captain any sports? If not, if I were you I would try hard to do so. Also, I would break out an SAT study guide or two to really up that Math score you've got. Everything else looks good from what you've listed :topic: Do you have your Pro Board Firefighter 1? If not, I'd...

It was a combination of my interview at my #1 and an unplanned stop at my #2 that had helped me figure out where I wanted to go. What was great was that once we were done with the initial interview Q&A part, the ROO at my #1 showed me around and discussed a good deal about the program and...

The ROO at my school had sent a mass email at the end of June/beginning of July to inform us of the orientation day, and give a couple other tips/pointers/answers to FAQs. Like they've said, it varies battalion to battalion. At this time, I would recommend getting in contact with someone from...

Just figured I'd put my 2 cents in on things During my DODMERB eye exam, I was talking with the eye doctor giving me my examination, and he informed me how it's usual for a student's eyesight to get worse over the course of college; in that sense, I can understand why some whom pass the exam...

Really, I'm just investigating all my options. Granted, I'm only an upcoming Freshman, and there's no doubt that the Army will be a completely different place in four years, but I think it's a good idea to be aware of everything that would be available to me if and when I graduate. Long-term...

Here's a question I've got: http://www.career-satisfaction.army.mil/rotc_overview.html So, if you go NG/Reserve, are you ineligible for any of the above?

I know I definitely didn't have the best scores for the PFT, and for some reason they still decided to give me a scholarship. Weird, right? If you can successfully get the Presidential Physical Fitness Award itself, I've got a feeling you're in great shape for the test. Frankly, though, make...

Going off of what Clarkson said, when I was applying last year I took note of the cross-town schools within my battalion as to whether or not they were in, just for curiosity, and they did get added later on, albeit later than when I had my application boarded. If I were you, I would get in...

https://goldenknightbattalion.wordpress.com/2015/06/12/board-dates-2015-2016-scholarship-boards/ The link above shows all the dates for scholarship applications this coming school year. Note that the deadline for completing things is listed as 2 October, which is the one that everything needs...

I'm just hoping they don't cut much of our Armored force; with the Armata UCP coming out, we'll need all our Abrams units ready

If that cadet was in CLC, then why would they let CIET cadets have them too? And vice-versa if he was in CIET? Just my thoughts

Like what Kronk said, sometimes obtaining the AROTC Scholarship helps out with admissions. However, it doesn't do that at every school, and it is possible to get the scholarship and be denied/waitlisted to the school you accepted the scholarship to. Honestly, every AROTC unit is different; I'd...

The AROTC National Scholarship process is separate from the school application process - you find out if you get accepted/denied to the school(s) you apply for separate from finding out whether you get the scholarship or not. Stats-wise, you are very similar to me in most aspects, and I'd...

Like Jcleppe noted, the AROTC Scholarship is build around SAL: Student, Athlete, Leader. What's your leadership background? Your SAT scores look rather well, although I would still advise to take them again if possible, as improvements (even incremental ones) always help (Side note: I was 10...

Like Thompson said about AROTC, the unit that I'm going to is a smaller unit (There's going to be 28 in our class, with around 18 of us with a 4 or 3 year, if I recall the stats correctly). From what I recall hearing, it would've been very likely for me to earn an in-house scholarship if I...

With regards to Project GO, as long as you're enrolled in the AFROTC program, I think you're eligible as well. If you check their site, I think I recall seeing something on there confirming/denying this

Does anybody know where all the CULP locations were this year? Or are they held at the same places every year? Thank you!

The ROO from my school, as well as my JROTC Senior Instructor and a family friend whom is the local NG Recruiter, all presented it to me during senior awards yesterday. Since then, I've been congratulated countless times by innumerous parents, friends, and acquaintances. Part of me is kinda...

To me it seems the gist of the story was that everybody loves Nike :shake: Going (sorta) back on topic, I'm just curious: You then keep everything that they issued you in ROTC for when you commission and serve? Or will you have to get/acquire new gear elsewhere?
