Hello all Am currently a freshman (MSI) in AROTC. I am 6'3", 150 lbs, lanky, but I would consider myself very lean and with very defined muscles. I have been getting better at PT ever since I began the workouts with my battalion, and have definitely seen an increase in my number of pushups...

Hey all, currently an MSI freshman in AROTC. I was qualified by dodmerb last weekend and passed my APFT, so I am finally qualified for an on-campus scholarship. But, of course knowing my luck, my enrollment officer tells me he has no scholarships to offer; apparently the Army has frozen all...

Just had my DODMERB examinations yesterday, everything seemed to go very well:biggrin: but I guess we will see soon enough! Anyway, had a question about my blood type-it wasnt asked for on any of the examination forms. It was kind of surprising, isn't this a pretty important piece of...

And numbers one and two are my name and social security number, respectively. Number three says "phone number" but then lists an unfamiliar number. Is this box supposed to be my home phone, or could this possibly be my PMS's phone #? Just need to know if I should correct it or not. Thanks
