Hey,
If anyone is going to be a freshman AROTC at the University of Alabama Tuscaloosa this fall,
my DS and 2 other future cadets are looking for a 4th roommate. Riverside dorm the last I heard.
Engineering, Anthropology and a Quantitative Economic major...what a mix
PM me
Good luck to those who are waiting and Congrats to those who are done waiting
I am not at all optimistic. After having been turned down by the Marine Scholarship board, even though my DS was told "there is no way in h** you won't get it" by the district Marine folks; in addition to being told by an elected official from Washington that the number of white males receiving ROTC scholarships will be very minimal this year…… I am not at all optimistic. Although it would be great, we are moving forward as if the AROTC scholarship will not happen either.
My DS busted his tail to earn it, and his credentials for scholarship are far - far above the min requirements. However, he was told that no matter how well you did, you can’t change your gender or race…..

Congrats to your DS receiving a scholarship!
I always wondered why Artillery was called "The King of Battle", while everyone referred to the Infantry as "The Queen of Battle." And these were the days before DADT!!

My status just changed! I revived a AROTC scholarship!
I did the hump-it-your-self artillery (mortars)I always wondered why Artillery was called "The King of Battle", while everyone referred to the Infantry as "The Queen of Battle." And these were the days before DADT!!
Too bad I have a DD who is also going to BAMA. I suggested she room with someone else in ROTC so they can get each other up in the morning for PT!
Thank You!!
This is the only thing that it says
"You have been offered an Army ROTC Scholarship. We must receive your acceptance/declination by the date in your letter or the offer will be withdrawn. Your name will be sent to DODMERB the day your winner letter is printed. There will be about 72 workweek hours prior to being able to see your name in the DODMERB system."
I do not know if I revived a 3 or 4 year and my 1st choice was VMI and second choice was the citadel. But it doesn't say what school.
Congratulations.
You will find out what year and school soon probably from the ROO at the school first and then by official letter.
If I remember right, you received an appointment to the AFA as well, have you made any decision as to which way you will go.
I heard that there is one (?) freshman female scholarship cadet... Yours?
