Thanks for the clarification.
Just so I am understanding correctly, are you saying that a MS4 cadet that passed LDAC, has a low but passing APFT, a low OML score, which leads to reserves not removal from ROTC, and poor scores as a TAC. Other then below average scores if these MS4 cadets were within the parameters of the contract they signed, they were still removed from the program. If any of these MS4 cadets or even MS3's were they required pay back scholarship if they were scholarship cadets even though they were fulfilling, albeit barely, the contract they signed.
Removing 20 cadets....that's a lot of fat to trim. I was surprised when my son's battalion let one cadet go, a MS1.
Well to be fair most of of the let gos were non scholarship underclassmen who had been for the most part competing for a couple on campus scholarships.These MS1s were not bad by any means but it was a simple,"Hey thanks for coming out but there just isn't any money". The MS 4s let go were the kicker especially since they had 4 year scholarships. I have to check my scholarship paperwok again, but I believe that even if a cadet makes minimum standards the ultimate yay or nay can come from the PMS for not upholding PMS he or she thinks as adequate officer standards.
