Ok, we were rounding up, but I do that because tuition increases every year, and then there's interest on the loans, and there's travel and transportation costs which add up quickly if you live 1000 miles away.

I had it pretty much all wrong. THANK YOU for setting me straight. :thumb:

Wrapping my brain around LDAC for the last year or so. Can you set me straight please? Here's what I have figured out so far. In the past, an acceptable nickname for "LDAC" was "Warrior Forge" because that's where LDAC was held. Is there a new nickname for LDAC now that it's been moved to Ft...

I don't have a log in but was able to access and download the reading guide. It's a Word doc, 8 pages. I copied here one section: The Top Ten Military Classics Clausewitz, Carl von. On War. 1832. Ed. and trans. by Michael Howard and Peter Paret. Indexed ed. Princeton, New Jersey...

You may want to consider joining at least one of the dozens of FB groups for Citadel parents. I'm sure you'll find other New Englanders, as well as other parents with either CSI experience or a son or daughter planning on going this summer. There's already of class of 2018 parent group with...

Do you mean one of his plan b's only has Army ROTC? And I mean, really, your question is so broad. There are probably thousands of posts on here about people's experience with "ROTC" as well as AROTC. What, specifically, do you want to know that can't be found through searches?

That's the whole point -- it becomes a big deal because people are stupid enough to post publicly and add hashtags making it easy for people with the wrong intentions to single them out. If you're a plebe, maybe it won't ruin your life, or maybe it will. Hopefully it won't, but all of it is...

Same here -- exactly. DS was competitive too, and Citadel was his dream school -- made three trips -- each of which was expensive for our family. Extremely disappointing to learn that all financial "aid" meant was $200,000 in loans because DS didn't make the "cut" for any scholarship money. A...

You're a little late to the party. http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=36794

Ditto. If you are posting pictures of a cadet at ANY academy, military school, or ROTC program you shouldn't be tagging anybody. Same goes if your son or daughter is an officer or enlisted in the US military. You should ask permission before posting ANY details about your son or daughter, and...

DS scored in the 99th percentile on his SAT essay yet none of the colleges he applied to considered the essay in their admissions process. He even got a certificate from the College Board along with a copy of the reviewers' glowing comments. (Nice little boost to the self esteem, but that's...

Congratulations! http://1.usa.gov/1okS7OZ Winners are: -- Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va. -- 1st Brigade -- Niagara University, Niagara, N.Y. -- 2nd Brigade -- Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa -- 3rd Brigade -- Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore -- 4th Brigade --...

Well, not "nobody."

True and wise, of course. But perhaps the instructor is one of those "don't bug me right now, kid" types and the deadline is fast approaching. By all means, check with your school's registrar and your ROTC instructor after getting an idea of what the likely answer is, but it's not like coming...

The ROTC list they are building is useful for keeping up with what various battalions around the country are tweeting about. Thanks for posting.

I have no idea how your stats stack up against anybody else, but I will say that it looks to me like you've been working hard to get good grades in the harder classes, are competitive academically at your school, and have played team sports consistently. Keep up the good work and you will go...

Minimum $300 (with way-out advance planning) plus transportation to airport. If this is even a remote possibility on a monthly basis, I don't understand why someone would entertain the idea of signing that contract. Why give yourself the possibility of all these hassles and paperwork headaches?

Admissions office at the school makes it sound like separating from Guard upon graduation/commissioning to go Active duty is just a matter of signing a few documents. Would love to hear some real-world stories though. So far, all the real-world stories I've dug up are stories of woe, that it's...

I've been poking around in some active posters' profiles and I am feeling compelled to try to get the word out that VISITOR MESSAGES within your profile are often "public," at least to other members of this forum. As I've been poking around, I've noticed Visitor Messages that included email...

Thanks for the info. As for "telling" him what to do, he's in charge of his career and makes his own decisions. I'm just here to understand some portions of his military life so that I can speak intelligently and ask questions that demonstrate how much I care about what he's doing. It is...
