If you're a standout at BOLC (like top 5-10% of your class) and go to an early BOLC you can get some great gigs. Everything from supporting the Ranger's S-2 Shop to getting on Combatant Command Level Intel Staffs. Otherwise it's coffee, administering security clearances, and waiting to hit O-3...

Wait, is GPA frozen too on attendance of CLC/LDAC? I attended LDAC last Summer, but took an incomplete in a research class last Spring, which dropped me from a 3.94 to a 3.78 in order to do research overseas this year while on LOA (which will of course go back to a 3.94 once the work is submitted)

AROTC Parent: Thanks for the info, very much appreciated. Bull: All I was looking for was something along the lines of what AROTC Parent provided, might've come up on a google search, but in this corner of the world I've only got access to bing and yahoo, and can't get direct access to .mil...

Look, I've already made it clear my POC isn't responding on this one, and not without reason, I'm technically currently not a Cadet, I'm on the other side of the Pacific, and they're in the midst of dealing perhaps largest shakeup in the modern history of ROTC, as well as a massive personnel cut...

Anyone know how to access info on Ed Delay program?

Already exhausted that course of action. Getting stonewalled on emails and calls. Currently on LOA abroad for the year so can't just pop in at the office either. Gotcha, thanks for the heads up.

Anyone know where to find the most up to date info on GRADSO and Ed Delay programs as it pertains to YG16? (aware they GRADSO/Ed Delay are distinct programs)

Also, for anyone really committing to pursuing foreign language proficiency, and who doesn't mind pushing out commissioning by a year, if you're able to get a Boren Scholarship its possible to get a Leave of Absence for the academic year. Note: Boren is hungry for ROTC Cadets. The application...

My advice would be to pick PACCOM first, I have yet to meet a Cadet who didn't enjoy their CULP Deployment there. Plus, the region is only going to get more and more important as time wears on.

Stepping off for 13th Reg today (should've already been wheels down at Louisville by now but the initial flight got cancelled). See you all on the other side.

Quick note for Nick, if you ever have the chance to strike up a conversation with a FAO, do it. The ones I've run across so far are have been smart, experienced, and insightful mentors. Full of knowledge and always willing to lend a helping hand.

Congrats Jim, welcome aboard.

They trickled out in January last year. Haha, choice. No, you're assigned a slot with a team, which will deploy to a specific county, at a specific time. That said, I had a few MSIIIs on my CULP Team when we went in early July-early August. Pretty sure CC is aware of the issue and makes sure...

In terms of getting the scholarship? I believe it counts for a few points, but I'm not sure. Your best bet is to wait for some of the more experienced members like Marist and Clarkson to roll around to tell you exactly how that works. In terms of succeeding once she's earned the...

Glad to see Scholarship winners getting the recognition they deserve. At my school they only announced Academy appointments.

May god have mercy on your souls :smile: Also, good luck :thumb:

Ok, pie in the sky time, but, I have a few friends from NOLA who are studying in Sussex. They keep asking me to visit, but I don't have the money for the airfare. Is it at all possible to do Space A to the UK?

This, nothing defuses a situation better than a confident smile and gently rendered mono syllables.

Another suggestion, at the risk of going off-topic, having timers stationed every two hundred meters (on a 400m track) can help push run times down about 20-30 seconds. Don't know precisely why, or if this is SOP elsewhere, but the timers always work out well for me and my buddies. Assuming...
