    Off to LDAC

    Last year for LDAC. As for PT testing, they were told they had 3 heat casualties during the latest test that took place. He said 9th reg and on would not be taking them. Apparently the high number of cadets having issues is cause for enough concern to halt it.

    $$ DS received his stipend for 10/1, however word just came down no stipend for the 15th until shutdown is resolved. FTX is still is a go for now, they usually don't have it until early Nov.

    Has the ROTC stipend process changed for anyone else?

    It will be all good! Cadet Command did not know why pay was only posted for April 1-5th for their school. Only 9 MSII's at his school, so not too much paperwork to be submitted by his Cadre. :thumb:

    Has the ROTC stipend process changed for anyone else?

    Update from DS DS found out all MSII's pay for the 15th ( today) was cut to $58.33, yet MSIII's and IV's remained the same at his school. Cadre was unaware of the change or reason why. They are looking into it. Guess mom & dad are paying for groceries this week.

    It happened!

    Thank you for all the well wishes for him. He has seen a few fellow cadets dismissed from the program his MSI year. He understands the commitment he is making and knows the consequences a wrong choice can bring. I have spent many hours keeping up with the happenings here on the forum and...

    It happened!

    DS applied for National Scholarship and sadly did not receive it. He went ahead and spent his freshman year as a walk on... hoping to compete for a campus based scholarship. Nothing came through for him or the others, (we all know how tough it has been). He decided to keep with it and see...

    Sitting at the clinic waiting for DS' medical exam... Read Kev Dawg's post. Discouraging news indeed. Our ROO admitted he thought it was strange that DODMERB packet was sent out last week with no offer of scholarship yet for him. Guess we can only keep playing the game.
