Ramping up physical training for VMI. Would like to run the Marine obstacle course a few times (the one with parallel bars, rope climb at the end). Are there any open to the public-near Michigan?

So, while we wait for regular decision letters I thought I would do some reading. Some of these might make good presents, hint, you 'rents on the board. "The Hard Corps, 21st Century Leadership" by Husted (thinking my Ratline experience might go better if I look inside and fix some...

I don't want to blow it. It's an honor to get an ROTC scholarship. I know it will help me commission as an officer in the Army. With an open mind, I visited the school offered (its a good public school), and listened to a 2LT describe the minimum that will be required of me. If that's the bar, I...

So, I have been told that my file is board ready for October. I took the Sept ACT (third time) hoping to bring up my score a couple points (have a 28 now). I put in over 40 hours of prep-goodness I hope it's better. Sad thing is I am the only person in the universe who hasn't received scores...

Late summer I decided not to pursue WP. I am seeking an ROTC scholarship at VMI and U of Mich. I had my physical mid summer for WP. After I cured a remedial I found out they were going to DQ me for "food allergies". I have seen an allergist since then for the skin & blood test and it's just...

So . . . a long time ago an allergy doc told me that my mild "hayfever" like reaction to raw carrots was a cross pollen allergy. I listed that on my medical form. I also added that I avoid fish because one of my parents is allergic to fish-fatally. Of course, I've never been tested for fish...

Arrrrgh. On my medical form I said I had tested positive for cross pollen allergies to some raw vegetables. NONE of these are life threatening allergies-it's like having a brief episode of hayfever. I said that I have avoided fish because I have family members with fish allergies. I have never...

There was a bit of tug of war this summer (parent/me) on my college choices. I also got a chance to visit new colleges. My list is completely different than when I first submitted my application. I think I made changes a dozen times. If my file is drawn for the October board which list will they...

I am excited about visiting VMI for this open house. Mostly because it will probably STILL be snowing in Michigan and won't be at VMI. Will we get to do a formal "admissions interview" during this weekend? Any tips on what to expect?

So, my mom ran into our local Army ROTC recruiter at the YMCA and told him that I want to apply for ROTC. He called me and asked a few screening type questions. He is coming to my house next week to talk. This isn't my formal interview is it? I haven't sent in my application yet. I'm excited...

This is day one of the application process for me. I opened a file at USMA-West Point to apply for Summer Leadership Seminar, 2011. I am going to research VMI and ROTC programs, too. I want to be proactive with my medical stuff. At 14 I was diagnosed with adolescent scoliosis. Now that...

I am a Jr at a college prep Christian HS and taking classes at Cedarville Univ. My HS GPA is 3.55 and I've got a 4.0 for the 12 credit hours I've taken at the university. My HS doesn't do dual enrollment so they are two separate GPA's. Because everyone at my school is smart (I mean, really...
