So here's my dilemma, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
As a four-year scholarship, MSI, AROTC cadet, I've been having trouble participating in ROTC activities (PT, MS class and Labs) due to a lack of transportation to my host unit. My school is approximately 50 miles away from the school whose battalion I participate in. During the first semester, I had the luck of running into another cadet who agreed to carpool with me. That cadet is now graduating early.
I am currently in the process of procuring my driver's license as well as car, though I worry that I may again fail my next road test, which is only a few days before the spring semester begins. My problem is compounded by the fact that I am attending an OOS Private school whose tuition I cannot afford without the scholarship.
My question now is, is it possible for me to take an LOA (reschedule another road test if I fail this one) for two weeks to a month whilst maintaining my scholarship? I understand that under an LOA, all benefits are suspended but will being away for such a short period of time affect my tuition scholarship as opposed to only the monthly stipends? Thanks!
