We are basically winding down for the incoming class of 2023. I am an old poster (not in physical age, just time here). I wanted to start a thread that I have never seen before regarding suggestions for ROTC cadets entering college in the fall. I hope others will give their suggestions too...

As an old time poster, I get it...nerves and you want some insight, BUT before you think of starting a thread with the words CHANCE please step back 1st and ask yourself some very pointed questions. 1. Have you used the search tab? ~ IOWS looked at stats from last year, or even this yr to see...

Okay because another thread had diverted into which burger is best...5 Guys, In and Out, Whadda, etc. Let's post the restaurant that is a MUST for your assignment. Place $ signs for a cost aspect. I will start. Please copy and paste the list. 1. Simon and Seafort's Anchorage AK, (...

Our DD sent these pics to us. These are her SO's grandfathers, but his family knows nothing what they may mean. He kept the uniform I would like to know if anyone can can give more details. ~ I was thinking that as a Xmas gift I could somehow tie these patches to what his grandfather...

So tomorrow is the vote. How many of you out there think that we will see a shutdown again? My bet is the answer is yes. However, my bet would have been different if this was an election year because they would not risk ticking off the voters that close to an election. If we do go into a...

Since plan B is always a good idea, I saw this a.m. and felt it might be of interest to our Marine posters if they have not heard about it yet. http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/benefits/education/2015/07/10/foundation-giving-7m-to-marine-corps-kids-for-college/29955517/ Every penny...

Is there a way you can create a forum for HS students that are too young to apply, but want to start researching? Similar to the Nomination/DoDMERB forum. Many of the SA/ROTC forums now have posters that are very young (13 yrs old) asking questions about academic advice on every forum. I...

So here we are again. Applications for ROTC scholarships will be opening up. Good luck, God speed and BUCKLE UP because it can be a long ride before you hear anything.

Okay, since we now have an official moderator for ROTC, I was hoping maybe we could get some new stickies added into this forum like they have on the SA and nomination forums. FAQs? Every year we get the same questions. I am not talking chance me. Could we have a sticky regarding general...

A friend of mine found a USNA ring in Dinwiddle VA, searching the beach with a metal detector. I don't want to give out all of the description, but it is class of 73 and has the number 43 on it. Can anyone give guidance on how to track down the owner?

According to reports Hagel is set to resign today.The announcement is suppose to be public late this a.m. from the WH.

Anybody else watch the program last night? I thought it was interesting, but what bothered me the most about it, was they missed one point....endowments. The UVA president illustrated that as VA has decreased subsidies the school raised tuition at a similiar rate. Makes sense until you look...

For those that watched it, I found three things interesting. 1. Bruce Springsteen Fortunate Son ~ It can be viewed as an anti-military song. ~~ Bullet and I both looked at each other and said that was an interesting choice! 2. John Oliver (comedian) was the best! ~ Granted probably only the...

Okay so it is that time of year again...application time. I am posting this in the hopes that insteadd of having duplicate questions 3,4, 5 times a week, lurkers and new posters will take it to heart regarding their posts. It may also help getting the correct response faster. 1. ROTC is all...

So a family of 4, two being under the age or 3 decided to sail to the South Pacific from CA on a 36 ft sailboat. Shocker! They had to be rescued, 900 miles off of Cabo, by the CG because the baby girl got ill (suspected salmonella). Their vessel also is in trouble, and needs repairs. The...

So for those that watched the finale do you give it a :thumb: or :thumbdown: I give it a :thumb: laughed, cried and felt they tied it up in a nice way.

It just came to me that our DD will graduate in May, and she has been accepted to Grad school (fellowship). I know how it works while in college full time, but what about grad school directly after graduation? With the ACA does anyone know how this impacts retirees dependents. Typically they...

I saw this in the news today and in a way it made me chuckle, because as the military is downsizing they are now making them add on additional task. http://www.military.com/daily-news/2013/11/26/fashion-police-crack-down-at-hawaii-army-base.html?comp=7000023317843&rank=10 Don't get me wrong...
