If you or your child have done Ranger Challenge please offer your insight. When and where is it this year? Is it a national event or are there regional events? What events are in the competition? Do participants compete in every event or just their best ones? Are spectators...

While randomly looking through Duke's website to get a sense of the university I found this interesting page. http://undergraduatedean.duke.edu/2009/08/duke-rotc-featured-in-army-video/ Follow Duke's link after that. Duke seems pleased to be the university chosen to be highlighted in this...

Welcome! From your screen name I'm guessing you are (or represent) the PMS at Cornell. I'm glad you're here. What a valuable asset to students and parents who are interested in ROTC at Cornell.

A post on the USMA subforum reminded me that I'm actively looking at getting new cell phones for myself and two oldest children. My contract w/ ATT expired but unfortunately, the two sons' contracts (ATT family plan) expire later this year or early next year. Because I babied my Sony...

Does anyone know if WP requires a high school mid-year grade report? Where can I find that info? Thanks!

I have done a cursory search on WP's site and haven't been able to find out how many National Merit Semi Finalists or Finalists matriculate at WP. There is a stat for the class of 2012 that shows 199 who have National Merit recognition. I'm guessing that figure includes Commended students...

My son cannot access his DoDMERB account to see if there will be any remedials or waivers. He needs to recover his password. (My fault it was lost as I think I pitched the memory prompt unintentionally :redface:) The email message from tech support said that his account was deleted because...

Youtube link to CORTRAMID 2008 East. "Crazy Train" is the theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zItxuWyay9M Looks like it was a great time and the Mids were very busy. It gives a good idea of the kind of training exposure they experienced.

I'm not pushing any political views with this post but the article below caught me funny today. There is mention of UC Berkeley in it. It's an opinion in The Harvard Crimson: http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=522956

Is there a medical form that must be signed by a physician in the NASS packet this year? Or did we miss it? There is a medical POA but no physician's form. WP had a physician's signature page for SLS and a POA, as well. It seems strange that there isn't one for NASS. Thanks!

Interesting presentation of a study on the link between attacks on Americans, both civilian and military, in Iraq and anti-war rhetoric in America. From the Harvard Crimson: http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=522548

There has been quite a bit of debate going on since the new year in college newspapers - notably Cornell and Columbia - regarding ROTC and "Don't Ask Don't Tell." Prompted, if I remember correctly, by a debate among Democratic presidential candidiates who responded to a question asked by Tim...

Long-ish article relating the varied experiences of being Harvard and Army from a female perspective. http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=512125 I admire these students who choose to serve after graduation. They delay entry to grad school and lucrative careers.
