Read like it's AROTC only but who knows since they don't mention the specific programs...

Stumbled on this article. I don't necessarily endorse the course it references but the article itself contains some valuable leadership lessons. I thought it might be useful/inspiring to some applicants and perhaps correct some misconceptions about leadership with others. Pretty simple...

From Asia Times which, keep in mind, operates out of Hong Kong; so this is China's convenient "view". However, they may have a bit of a point. Thoughts? https://asiatimes.com/2023/05/us-marines-abdicating-a-rescue-role-to-china/

This just seems like bad ju-ju. What relevance does it even have anymore given the changes since 1990. Feels like a hit piece based on the description. Argghhh! If they wanted to do something set in 2023, I'd be fine with that...

Interesting article. Heckl is one of DS's most admired active generals. https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2022/05/06/marine-3-star-technology-remade-combined-arms-the-corps-must-adjust/?utm_source=sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dfn-ebb

I believe that every NROTC MO Midshipman learns about "Pete Ellis". I know my son's text had at least an entire chapter on the guy (yes, I read my son's text books!). He was pretty astounding/amazing. Here's a very short video about him from the I Marine Information Group (MIG). I thought some...

A trusted and inimitable source of AROTC information on this site is @clarksonarmy. Each year I see questions come up here and other sub-forums regarding tattoos. Well, ClarksonArmy doesn't just feed you fish, he teaches you how to fish; with another update to his Golden Knights Battalion blog...

Due to health issues i cannot be without poeer, so my wife and i fled our home at the coast and are living as refugees with friends. Fortunately that is in Columbus GA, so we spent half a day at the National Infantry Museum. Awesome stop and well worth a trip. Meanwhile a tree missed our house...

We're about to roll over to a new application year. Most award notices and TWEs have already been received with a few more still to come. Already the "chance me" threads are starting for 2019 scholarships. As a parent or applicant, you picked up a lot of experience in the application process...

I drove 3 hours each way to attend a favorite nephew's graduation ceremony from a catholic grade school tonight. The commencement speaker was someone who graduated from that same school 9 years ago. The young woman is an Ensign, USNA 2016. Of course they rattled off her resume as part of the...

I know everyone is looking to have their family with them at Christmas, whether their children are Active Duty, Cadets or Midshipmen at an academy or ROTC. Anyway, I thought I'd create this thread for people to mention how their kids are doing as they are able to have those "longer"...

In the Quantico, VA area today attending a commissioning ceremony for one of DS' friends from college. Charlie Company of OCC just graduated, so there were a lot of newly minted 2 Lts. wandering around today. Every one of them was as proud as a peacock, as well they should be. One of them was...
