    Graduating from Advanced Camp

    I attended advanced camp last year. My girlfriend came because she happened to be seeing her grandparents relatively close. Is it a perk? Yeah sure. As a cadet though, I would NEVER deem it worth paying for a flight, never mind an international flight. Save it for commissioning/graduation...

    Norwich Packing List

    Boxer briefs work. I suggest bringing more than 10. I also suggest bringing 3-5 pairs of compression shorts. They can be stored in a footlocker.

    NORWICH Laundry Services / ROTC/ Corps of Cadets

    It does NOT cover the laundry or linen services. While nice, they are not worth the money. If you are really set on getting them - don't. Give the child that money instead and let them do laundry as they please. This will allow them flexibility on when they get to do it, as well as be cheaper...

    Hazing (or lack thereof) at SMC’s...?

    I would honestly LOVE to know the individuals that made this bold hazing statement. - Noone cares what branch you are here. - We are all mixed together, why would Navy be specifically targeted? - Are we sure these are not exaggerations on both sides? It is relatively well known an upperclassmen...

    AROTC Four Year Scholarship Presentation Data

    Is there any word for those who are current sophomores and juniors who will only receive less in the future while having received less in their first years?

    Hazing (or lack thereof) at SMC’s...?

    True hazing is few and far between. The vast majority of cadets have some sort of professionalism about them and would not conduct themselves in such a way. There will always be a few, but there will also always be a few in the regular college frats and sororities. I would not let a fear of...

    AROTC Application and GPA Updates

    They care about through Junior year. They will only want Senior year to verify they did not just fail all their classes.

    DS is visiting Norwich U next week

    They say guarantee, but it is not quite so. They must be RECOMMENDED by the PMS to be AD. This means that if they are a crappy cadet, they can still very well not be given AD

    Norwich Packing List

    It says that you may bring civilian clothes to do presentations in. This can be taken loosely. Dress shorts and a collared shirt (polo style) will suffice for your daily wear prior to Rook Arrival Day. Its best to NOT look like a rook on campus prior to actually being one.

    1st board

    They understand that the people grading his PFT will likely give him slack in hopes to help him. They will understand he should be able to meet the ROTC requirements. It wont hurt much (if at all), and it may help. Don't fret it too much, just dont let him think he'll get 100+ push-ups in ROTC...

    ROTC Tolerance of MIPs

    Slightly off topic, but you say you're glad you didn't go tonight. This insinuates that you do go out with them when they partake in these activities. Hopefully you'll learn with them.

    1st board

    Improve on the SAT The PFT looks inflated. I would seriously doubt those numbers. Leadership is average, it's just JROTC and a sport.

    Asthma disqualification for AFROTC?

    She did create more work for you. See if you can have the prescription rescinded. Then get the pulmonary suctions test done.

    Can one accept both AROTC and AFROTC scholarships initially

    Yes. Definitely accept both. Always nice to have that fallback plan in place

    DOR NROTC --> OCS

    That statement of seeming to value a college experience over ROTC sits poorly with me. You understand that thousands of your peers have gone to SMCs and SA in order to serve, understanding that their "college experience" will not be there. Maybe you need that level of commitment.
