My daughter is getting her LDAC date request put in this week with her BN and the subject of CTLT came up. Clearly, you want to select a date that leaves enough time afterwards so that you can make it to school afterwards, but beyond I have a couple of questions that maybe Clarkson or Marist can answer:
1) Are LDAC and corresponding CTLT dates assigned together for a BN? i.e. X BN has 1 in Regiment 1, 1 in Regiment 3, 2 in Regiment 7, and the ones in Regiment 1 and 7 have CTLT assignments with them but the Regiment 3 does not?
2) I've read posts that are all over the map as to how many CTLT slots a BN gets. Obviously OML will determine who gets offered the slots available at the BN, but what percentage of LDAC attendees typically get a CTLT slot?
3) I've also heard stories about CTLT slots being handed out at LDAC. Any idea of how many or is it a function of how many give theirs up (voluntarily or involuntarily) while at LDAC? What week in LDAC would those slots become available?
Kind of selfish motives here... I've thought about picking her up from LDAC and doing a road trip out west afterwards (see some relatives and some sights). Clearly if CTLT is available to her, she (and I) would prefer that.
Obviously I'm not going to book anything for a while and probably not until she is out there. And it sounds like I want to book a refundable ticket as well, if I do buy one.
Any advice here?
