    TWE

    Plan B Don't lose hope on your dreams! My son received his TWE, oh, so many years ago now. He was told to reapply because of his "good" resume but took his scholarship and headed for four years at Notre Dame. He graduated in May with degree in EE with Nano tech and renewable energy. Did not...

    disenrolled 22 days before graduation

    CC I am not sure that is completely accurate. I believe you can be disenrolled and still have a recommend for commission. BigDog, So sorry for the heaviness you must be feeling at this time. None greater than what your son's loss and grief is at this time. I ask the questions with the hope...

    disenrolled 22 days before graduation

    CC ok next question: If the Academy Disenrolls him could he go through OTS or a semester of another ROTC program prove himself and then commission. Thus no payment of debt and possibly earn another flight slot?

    disenrolled 22 days before graduation

    Question? If he has completed set credit hours for aero engineer degree, why is he not getting his diploma? I can see you may not commission but what about the said earned degree?

    First Class Base Assignments tomorrow

    Pima, I do not believe the ROTC students know their report dates yet. True about what you said about remote bases. I guess that's why Test Pilot School was at Edwards AFB. Sonic booms were a way of life for us out there. I must say, I am looking forward to my DS only being 2 hours away in...

    ROTC Option

    When my son was turned down for USAFA, he accepted his scholarship to Notre Dame. In the face of great disappointment, he picked himself up by the bootstraps and marched on. He had to put in perspective his goals which was to be a pilot in the Air Force. This wonderful Friday morning his ROTC...

    Turn downs not being filled

    I agree that stinks! The letter is worded exactly the same way two years ago. It is their standard form letter. I agree, they should have taken the time to change the letter.
