Curious if anyone has branch rating intel. Some branches give out Most Preferred rating sparingly, almost a 1:1 ratio, and others more like 6:1. For the branches with the latter description, can the comments indicate the level of most preferred, ie not all MP are created equal? And, can anyone...

Heading to graduation soon. Is there a customary gift I should know about or are my teary eyes going to be good enough?

Got this from DS yesterday and thought I’d share, for those inquiring minds.

Anyone know if an 8-10 week strategic language Project-GO program abroad counts as training/activity on OML, particularly since CULP has been indefinitely suspended?

Any idea of the Army OML percentage breakdown for FY23 and FY24, given that the last three years have all been different?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/04/politics/austin-pentagon-vaccine-mandate/index.html Sorry….should have put this in military news.

Anyone know if this is automatic or must be requested? Is it direct deposited into cadet’s account? Thanks!

Sharing this in case it could help any of you. Just discovered that Utah changed their law regarding granting in-state tuition for veteran dependents. It used to apply for those dependents whose vet parent(s) separated no more than 5 years back. BUT, in May of 2020, they took out the 5-yr...

This message is for anyone who might need this information in the future and for any of my buddies here on the Forum who would like an update on DS's saga. As some of you may know, DS was DQ'd last August for history of thoracic surgery and spinal fusion (congenital or acquired). However, he...

DS has 3 DQ codes and has a waiver being processed for 4-yr AROTC. AMIs were fulfilled for two of them and sent back to WA, then another AMI arrived and was fulfilled. I’m wondering if WA continues to look at the file as things come in or if each time DoDMERB opens and adds AMIs, his file goes...

I’m soooo sorry to ask, but @MullenLE, is DoDMERB working normal hours during this challenging time? I think I remember your saying that everyone would be, albeit perhaps remotely. However, a lot has changed in the last few days. Should we expect movement with DoDMERB and/or WA? Sorry to...

Is it 30 days? When they get around to it? If you've already go through for a SA, does it just appear on DODMERB? Do you need to do anything other than accept the scholarship? I've asked this before but haven't gotten an answer.

Does anyone know?

I was hoping to have Winners who changed from B/UC to Boarded or went directly from B/UC to winner say what their portal did so that others can get a firm grip on this phenomenon. I’ll start: DS went B/UC to Boarded the day before Winner was announced.

I heard a rumor that the USAFA class of 2024 will have 1500 cadets. Can anyone confirm?

DS is tall and thin. Not DQd by DoDMERB for weight, although under. (Sent letter from doc saying he’s healthy, has no underlying issues.) A letter was posted on USMA portal this week saying he needed to get taped. Is this normal to not have a DQ and need to be taped? If he comes under the...

Can anyone tell me what the language validation tests are like? Length? Skills tested (reading/writing/speaking/listening)? Multiple choice and/or free response? Can cadets take several of them for different languages? Thanks!

Hi all! Curious to know if your deferred DS/DD had an interview. My DS was deferred to RD but never got an interview. BUT, he and I visited last summer and tried to meet with the person who would be his AO. She was not available, so a really nice guy who seems to be high up in admissions (his...

Anyone know? Do they go quiet for two weeks?

Anyone here hoping for a waiver and also applied EA? Did USCGA request a waiver for anyone yet? Or will a LOA be issued during this EA round (if they want you!) prior to the 23rd so a waiver can be started?
