Jcleppe-I agree and as a parent it is so frustrating to watch and not be able to help him. He feels stuck at this point[emoji29]. It is costing him more to be in ROTC than they are contributing toward school but he doesn't have the resources to quit. They would make him repay everything they...

Long awaited but an update. My son retook his PT test before the end of the semester and passed. Found out today that they are still refusing to pay for the semester. Presumably not because of the PT test anymore but because he redid his 104r but did not use the updated form :/ they now claim it...

Thanks Craig, Bull, Jcleppe and USMCGrunt, for your helpful insight and suggestions. I will pass along the advice to my son. I will let you know what happens when he finishes talking to them.

Failure to pass for the entire semester results in losing his scholarship. My son has passed the test be it by a narrow margin when it comes to the run part. His officers are telling him they are expecting a 300. Which is why he was forced to give up his summer job and rent an apartment for the...
