Seems to defeat the original intent of this thread.
I believe my knowledge in branch, major and career choice is more important than the school I attended which I've only seen mentioned on these boards once.

While this may be true, it still doesn't address the stated purpose of this thread by the OP. Many parents and other posters on this site have either current military experience or prior military experience (including ROTC) that could make the same claim. Why the reluctance to post your college as all the other posters who have responded have done?I believe my knowledge in branch, major and career choice is more important than the school I attended which I've only seen mentioned on these boards once.
I don't. Why keep your school private and if for some reason you do feel the need then why post on a thread titled "College insight/guidance for ROTC applicants" that has the stated purpose of:Aglahad you want to keep your school private. I respect it....
How are posters that are considering Aglahad's college suppose to know that he has any knowledge of that school/Battalion if he doesn't list it?This thread is for posters that are in the system to help posters looking at their college list to find specific posters that can lead insight into the det.
...if anyways mentions my school or has questions Ill send them a PM.
Agreed....which is why I chose to respond and why I question the need for anyone on this "list" to expect/request more anonymity than the rest of us.Candidates right now matter most. I am the OP, and I respect both of you, but the priority is the candidates. Candidates are looking at branches, majors, and colleges. The more you share, the more they can get guidance/direction.
Important or not.....the OP did request this information. Certainly if you don't feel it is important then I'm sure you can choose not to provide the information.Not really sure listing the school is that important, most applicants that are looking for advice tend to start out with "I want to go to xyz school, anyone have any advice".
Ooooops....seems it wasn't a problem for you when you originally responded. However you did overlook providing your children's majors. Maybe it's an AROTC thing.Jcleppe (parent) 2012 & 2015 AROTC, University of Idaho (Both)
In hindsight I would not have listed the college either but it was too late to edit.
You really need to give this up, there is plenty of information for applicants to receive, it's worked just fine for years on the board even without this last thread. The information is nice but not required, applicants will find the information they need.
Continuing an argument over whether someone listed their college or not just makes this another laughable thread that will soon get buried.
And no, it's not an AROTC thing, it's a respect thing for my "Children" who asked that I not list their majors, they would have preferred I not list the school but that was my mistake.
If you felt this way then why post on this thread to begin with? While I respect your desire for privacy, I have difficulty understanding why anyone would post any information on a thread with the stated purpose and title of this one, if they were not interested in providing all the information requested...there is plenty of information for applicants to receive, it's worked just fine for years on the board even without this last thread.
I respect your opinion on this matter and appreciate you choosing not to participate.I have intentionally not posted my information in this thread specifically because with my user name, that would be enough information to specifically identify my daughter, something I'd rather not do (and she appreciates that).
Many of us that have been on this site for a number of years remember when your daughter was going through the ROTC process and already know more about her than you probably want posted again...and of course I would not post that information. I would assume/hope that despite us having that knowledge that no one has used this information in any "bad ways". Certainly my daughter has survived the revealing of her school/class/major and branch affiliation during the last three years without a problem.BTW, if someone posts information here that adds breadcrumbs to my daughter's identity, I will ask the Mods to edit/delete that information. I suggest the same for other members who wish to protect their child's identity. Unfortunately, this world has far too many people with problems who will use this information in bad ways.
