    book money?

    An MSIII cadet that I spoke with at freshman orientation(who was on scholarship)told me that the book stipend was simply deposited into your account. They don't require book receipts, but if you're an idiot and spend the money on something other than the books you need then I suppose that's your...

    USMA has received all 8 of my transcripts but academic info is still pending

    Peter- I don't believe that there is a universal "best" way to become an Army Officer. It is whatever path best suits the individual, or whatever path is available if you truly want to become an officer. I'm only nineteen, and haven't even worn a uniform, but that's my opinion as of now. West...

    Chances of Army ROTC Scholarship? Ways to improve odds?

    I will be in September! I have an AROTC scholarship to Ohio State. Definitely drop by and give them a visit; all of the cadre and the few cadets that I have met are great people. If you don't visit until fall, then maybe I'll see you! P.S. - I urge your son to stay in Ohio, GO BUCKS:thumb:

    AROTC Contracting Packet

    Just received it today. It is actually quite simple and is not what I was expecting but its likely that this is far from the complete set of papers. Most of the forms were on an included flash drive, that I had to fill in on Excel.

    APFT

    I agree with the partner thing. Also, give crossfit a try, it is no joke, tried and true. Remember, don't train just to do apft exercises, train to be an all around athlete, and most of all a future soldier.
