Can incoming freshman students in VTCC have ipads during new Cadet week? How about after that? Like in their rooms?

My DS will be attending Virginia Tech this fall and a member of the Corps of Cadets /Army ROTC. They are selling a New Cadet Kit at the school's bookstore for $136. Does anyone know if this is a decent value, or should we go buy all the myriad of items at Walmart or a similar store to save...

Is anyone else's status still 3Q, but with no appointment or TWE?? It's 10 May. What the heck? If they are not going to select him, why not TWE at this late hour?

Has anyone heard from the AROTC 2nd Board reference scholarship winners yet?

Does anyone have any feedback reference Virginia Tech's Corps of Cadets in general. Being an SMC, it appears to be a lot larger than most all other schools' battalions /detachments. Also the guarantee with AROTC of getting AD upon graduation as long as your PMS recommends you is pretty...

DS has taken DODMERB exam for USNA and been found Medically Qualified. Now USMA is ordering DODMERB. Can USMA use USNA's DODMERB results, or does he need to do it again? I thought I read somewhere on this forum that you only need to take DODMERB exam once, and that all SA's and ROTC'S can use...

Did anyone list the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Purdue main campus West Lafayette, Miami of Ohio, or Marquette as choice schools on either Army ROTC or Naval ROTC-Navy option scholarship applications? Also electrical engineering major?
