Disregard this post, we found our answer. Sorry for the confusion.

One of the major decision points for our son is the lack of a monthly stipend at KP. I know it's not much in the grand scheme of things, but even the small stipends that all SA & ROTC scholarship MIDN/CDT receive is a valid decision point. Has anyone in either KP administration or Congress...

Good luck to everyone anxiously awaiting Ivy League admissions decisions today!

Any recent USMMA alums out there who selected USN Nuclear Power Program? Doesn’t matter specialty (Submarines or Nuke SWO). While we’re at it, any active duty USN CEC (SeaBees) or EDOs out there from USMMA?

Words of wisdom for ROTC Scholarship winners & SA Appointees: As you prepare to wind down your senior year of high school, don’t throw away your hard work by engaging in risky behavior or placing yourself in a situation where a wrong decision could result in having everything taken away from...

Odd USAFA question: Son received a medical waiver for USAFA and AFROTC. Had a tough time initially with the CFA and he missed the USAFA deadline for submitting a qualifying score by 31 Dec 23. He really kept at it in the gym and on the track; he submitted a qualifying CFA to USNA by their...

A more lighthearted question since we’re at the anxiously killing time phase of the process… Does DoDMERB update on a case-by-case basis as waiver decisions are rendered or do they do a timed daily/weekly/monthly data dump and update everything en masse? Concurrently, does anyone know if the...

Son received his NSI assignment today. Anyone else?

Anyone else experiencing login issues with the Army ROTC portal? Son uploaded his signed acceptance letter last Friday and wants to check to see if it's been processed. He's having login issues with his current password not being accepted despite him recently changing the password. TIA!

Anyone ever seen their status in the portal switch everything to "Under DoDMERB Review"? Previously approved waiver now reads "Under DoDMERB Review" including a program to which he was previously denied a waiver. Curious...

All, Son was looked at for Early Decision and deferred for another look during Regular Decision cycle. Does he just keep checking his Bear's Den portal or what? Currently, his portal only reflects the previous deferral correspondence. Thanks in advance.

All, Been way too long since I went through this process, so I appreciate any gouge out there. Our son has competed his application, received a nomination, and completed his DoDMERB (plus DoDMERB directed consult). What is the next step for him? Admissions committee then medical waiver...

Son has uploaded an improved PFA score sheet to his Army ROTC application for the January selection board. Better to delete the old one altogether and replace with the new one since it’s a better score altogether or leave both so he can show improvement?

My son is starting to weigh the pros/cons of on campus vs crosstown ROTC programs as he weighs his acceptance options. Having a POV on campus is generally out of the question for Freshman Year. My wife and I are concerned about the amount of time that he might have to spend commuting between...

All, Our son applied to all service academies & ROTC programs except NROTC MO. He was awarded AFROTC & NROTC so far; USAFA & AFROTC requested the same AMI & both granted a waiver. NROTC isn’t listed on his DoDMERB page but he’s already started on additional paperwork for NSI this summer. Is...

Son has received a Type 1 4-Year HSSP AFROTC Scholarship. He's already had a DoDMERB Physical as he's applying to all 5 federal SA. He's been accepted to 1 state school and 1 SMC that use rolling admissions. Both of these schools offer and host AFROTC; neither is his 1st choice for college...

Son was asking if he should consider his school choices as he’s getting rolled over to the 2nd Board for Army ROTC & NROTC. He’s been accepted Early Action at 2 schools (1 state school & 1 SMC) that were on his N/ROTC list but weren’t his top N/ROTC program choices. Also curious if Ivy League...

All, Son asked me if he could or should write a preemptive letter to DoDMERB explaining his current seasonal allergy situation and prescribed allergy medications. He’s prescribed OTC medications because my union health plan has negotiated a benefit for us which provides OTC medications for...

All - We have our requested AMI assembled and ready for submission. Me being who I am, I'm tempted to also submit what I'll call amplifying or (hopefully) supportive documentation as well even though it hasn't been asked for yet. I fell like I may be putting the proverbial cart before the...

Well, here we are. AMI request for records regarding an instance of "pitcher's elbow" 5 years ago where the doctors orders were "Listen to your father. Don't throw the curve ball any more." Medical advice followed; no other treatment or follow up required. Having to sit out the rest of the...
