My DS has his Army ROTC Interview this week at VMI. I have read a lot of good tips on this forum that I have passed on to my DS. I want to ask for some additional last minute tips for this Fri and I have a couple of questions.
1. I have read that its a good idea for my DS to have a folder with him containing his Essay that he wrote on the AROTC website application, a copy of his PT test that he took, and a brief bio/resume. So he will have that with him. He also will have his own list of questions for them if he gets an opportunity to ask them. I have even read on here where people even discussed what they were going to wear. My DS will wear a collered shirt and tie. He likes to wear a tie for important occasions.
2. Should he put anything else in the folder that I mentioned above? He was given the task of writing the PT for his JROTC class at school last year and he did a good job of planning and teaching the class proper form and had his plan written out so I told him he may want to bring that and show them to show he was placed in that position of teaching and leadership in that class. What do you think? Good idea or bad?
3. How many copies of each item should he have to hand out? Who else will be at this interview?
4. Should he bring a change of clothes and tell them he can take the PT test again for them if they like?
5. What will the interview be like and what questions will he need to answer?
Although I am driving him I am not going to be around for the interview but I will pass on any tips to him ya'll give me. Also, someone mentioned the other day to send a follow up email thanking them for their time. I think that is a good idea and its always nice to be courteous for any reason. Has my DS forgotten anything important that he should address? Also, how long do these interviews usually last?
The only other thing my DS has to do after the interview is have the school nurse confirm his height and weight and send that to CC. He got a letter stating that the nurse letter and the Interview are the only items still missing. I have some questions about SMP too but I will start a new thread for that.
