Now that branching and BOLC dates are out for my son, I have yet more questions!! How does the housing work? Is it something that the Army helps them with or do they have to do on their own? I realize that his cadre are busy working with all the MSIV's for their futures but I'm...

My son just got called to be told his CTLT dates have been changed until after LDAC. He was leaving in 2 weeks. Has anyone else had changes made? He has until tomorrow to decide if he wishes to still do CTLT. It would bring him back a few days before school starts. This screws up his...

My son is going to CTLT this summer prior to LDAC and I was wondering, where do they live during the time they are there? He was thrilled to get a spot with Military Intelligence since that's what branch he is hoping to get. He will be at Fort Bliss in Texas.

Well tomorrow is 12/1 and once again, cadet command has failed to pay the Fall scholarship for room and board again. I just don't understand why they can pay when it's used for tuition, but not when it's used for room and board. Last Fall my son was finished with his first semester at...

My son was just doing his CULP application and ran across something he wasn't sure of so I of course figured maybe I could get the answer here. Of course he can just ask tomorrow at ROTC! When it asks what MS year you are in, it offers Military science class 1 to 6 and then military science...

I saw another member post that their stipend wasn't paid in full, only received half so I checked my son's deposit. Sure enough, only $70 was deposited not the $150. Now I realize that the stipend is actually a day early, usually deposited on the 15. I wonder if due to the Budget issue they...

Did anyone who used their ROTC scholarship for Room and Board receive a 1099? My son never received anything. It is his only income for last year so he is under the line to owe anything but I have no idea whether or not we have to file for him. Any ideas of how this is handled?

I know that this has been reported before, but as the new wave of applicants are busy awaiting word on their AROTC Scholarship status, I thought I would post this information so everyone could plan for their college expenses. If you are using your scholarship for Room & Board, it is more of...

For those who are on the waitlist, are your files closed out for the year? I remember reading that one person had signed onto their admissions file and there was a big red sign on the right side that stated "your application is closed". I was just wondering when they would close out the...

Has anyone who received and accepted an offer of an AROTC scholarship from the Jan. board have their status update on Dodmerb? My son's still says status "in process". I know that CC has to load it to the dodmerb system but I'm curious to see if anyone shows that it's been offered or extended.

I have a question. Once you have your application complete, do you get a letter that you are medically, scholastically and physically qualified? If you're application is complete and you already have nominations do they skip that step if they are going to offer you an appointment and just...
